Pasta Salad Ideas

[Skyenkit]

This is good idea. I'll try those recipes I love eating pasta and I love to cook too.

I also use twirly multi-colored pasta.

Prepare Pasta according to instructions.  Rinse in cool water.

Add:

Bacon
Bell Pepper
Onion
Tomato
Fresh Parmesan (not that powdered crap -- real Parmesan)
Basil
Oregano
Fresh copped garlic
salt and pepper

I make this with either mayo or an italian dressing.  I have also made this with sour cream.

I did not include amounts, because you may like more or less of a given ingredient than I do.  I usually load up on the tomato and bacon.

Pasta Salad

Rotenni Pasta
Broccoli florets
Cauliflower florets 
Carrot slices
Cheddar cheese cut in cubes
Italian Dressing

Just mix all ingredients and chill.  You can add black olives or any other vegetable you like, but it's good with just
the basic ones listed.  This is always a hit and people ask me for the recipe.

All the recipes listed sound soooooooooo good.  I like bow-tie pasta, pepperoni slices cut in fourths, chuncks of mozzerella cheese, black olives and italian dressing also have always liked the tuna noodle salads as well.

 My daughter make this pasta salad and I love it.

 It's not the elbow, but there kind of small cylinder type of pasta.
 
 first of all cook your pasta,
 cut some tomatoes, Green onions in small squares.
 apply some of that red seasoning salt and mayonnaise to taste.
 Mix all ingredients together and enjoy.

 Good luck
