We do meat-free Monday every week, and we get a bit bored of the easy option, which is spaghetti with lots of vegetables, so sometimes we like to try new things. This week's new thing is... pasta salad. Easy, tasty, and moderately healthy! That's a great choice all around.
Pasta Salad
2 cups pasta (uncooked)
1 red pepper
2 green onions/shallots
1/4 - 1/2 cup italian salad dressing
- Cook pasta in salted water until desired level of done-ness (I went for al dente).
- Rinse and then finely chop red pepper and green onion.
- Drain cooked pasta and tip into a large tupperware dish (or bowl).
- Add red pepper and onion, pour in salad dressing and toss to coat.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes then refrigerate.
- Best if refrigerated for several hours or overnight.
I feel like I need one of those Staples buttons. "That was easy!". We're having this as a side, not sure what to do as a main dish yet.
Also in the kitchen this weekend, we've got banana muffins and sour cream coffee cake. It smells delicious in here!
