QUICK AND EASY PASTA SALAD



Quick and Easy Pasta Salad image

This easy pasta salad is flexible based on the ingredients you have in your kitchen or the season. Start with a hearty pasta shape that has nooks and crannies to hold onto the dressing like rotini or penne. Then toss with our simple dressing and lots of colorful vegetables. We also love adding parmesan cheese, which melts into the dressing as well as a handful of fresh mozzarella balls. For more suggestions for what to add, read through our recommendations in the article above.

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare the pasta according to the package directions, or until slightly past al dente.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, herbes de Provence, red pepper flakes, and salt. (Note: the dressing will have a strong flavor, it’ll mellow once it coats all of the pasta salad ingredients).
  • Drain the pasta, toss it with a little olive oil (so that it doesn’t stick together) and let it cool to room temp. Transfer to a large bowl with the tomatoes, chickpeas, arugula, cucumbers, feta cheese, basil, parsley, mint, and pine nuts. Pour the dressing and toss to coat. Season to taste with more lemon, salt, pepper, and/or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired, and serve.

35 PASTA SALAD RECIPES (AND OTHER COOLING NOODLE DISHES ...

From epicurious.com
  • Pasta Salad with Tomatoes and Corn. For this easy pasta salad recipes, you'll toss sautéed fresh corn kernels with chopped plum tomatoes, penne pasta, Parmesan, and a garlic-basil dressing—and remember, when working with such great ingredients, you really don't need to do much.
  • Summertime Sōmen Noodles. It doesn't get cooler than this: Serve these classic Japanese noodles in a pool of ice water. Dip the noodles in a sauce made with dashi, rice vinegar, and soy sauce, or fill a bowl with noodles and scatter the sauce on top.
  • Grilled Ratatouille Pasta Salad. Grill eggplant and zucchini, then toss with hot pasta, fresh tomatoes, herbs, and mozzarella for an almost instant ratatouille-inspired pasta dinner.
  • Cold Sesame Noodles with Broccoli and Kale. If you love sesame seeds, you'll love this noodle dish, which tossed with loads of them, plus high-heat roasted broccoli, torn Tuscan kale, and refreshing mint.
  • Romesco Pasta Salad with Basil and Parmesan. The reason this salad holds up so well at room temperature is because you dress it twice. It absorbs the first round of dressing completely, the second addition keeps it glossy, and a fistful of walnuts and breadcrumbs means there's always something to bite into.
  • Pasta Salad with Spring Vegetables and Tomatoes. Ginger-roasted cherry tomatoes, skillet-charred snap peas and scallions, and plenty of fresh basil and mint make this light take on pasta salad eminently craveable.
  • Chilled Ramen with Soy Milk and Chili Oil. This summer dish is a wow. Chilled noodles meet crunchy vegetables that are tossed in a fragrant Sichuan chili paste; it's all served in a cool and flavorful miso, ginger, and soymilk broth.
  • Lemony Pasta with Cauliflower, Chickpeas, and Arugula. A vegetarian pasta dinner that's full of so much fresh arugula, it almost feels like eating a salad.
  • Liu Shaokun's Spicy Buckwheat Noodles with Chicken. This spicy noodle dish tossed with poached chicken, chili oil, soy sauce, and scallions, came from Chengdu chef Liu Shaokun.
  • Green Tea Noodles with Gochujang Dipping Sauce. In this recipe from chef Edward Lee, the refreshing, slightly nutty flavor of green tea noodles pairs with crisp spears of cucumber and a shower of Thai basil leaves, with a spicy dipping sauce for each bite.
