First and foremost- let’s get this pasta salad going! It’s so good, and best of all it’s amazingly SIMPLE!! And who doesn’t love a good pasta salad?!
So take your choice of pasta. I used farfalle (the little bowties). And I used the whole box.
Cook it according to package directions. Let it cool off.
Then take a jar of Artichoke Salad (it’s got artichokes, red peppers, and olives in it). Save some of the stuff that it’s marinated in. Give it a rough chop, and add it to the cooled pasta.
I also added some sliced black olives to mine because I’m cool like that.
Then add several tablespoons of the marinade from the artichoke salad. To your own personal taste level. Then add a little salt and pepper and you’re done! Let it hang out a bit so that the pasta can soak up the flavor of the marinade before you chow down. If you want to be a show off you could add some fresh herbs to it. I was just too darn lazy to walk outside and pick some out of the garden.
Easy huh?!
And so pretty!
Other than this, there’s not much going on around here today. It’s raining- YAY! My plants are going to be SOOOO happy!
I need to work on a project for my Women’s Nutrition class but I keep putting it off. I have to say that I’m kind of disappointed in this class. I thought that it would be far more interesting than it actually is. And I also thought that we would be learning about…oh…I don’t know…women’s nutrition? Instead it turned out to be almost exactly like my food and culture class. hmmmm….
Anyhoo- I’m headed to the kitchen to make some yummy chocolate chip cookies for the husband. 😀
Have a good one!!
