One of the very easy dishes that I am asked to bring to cookouts etc is my Pasta Salad. I am not sure where the actual recipe came from but I know I have been making it since High School.
First I cut up whatever veggies I have. The ones pictured are from our garden that Mimzy has worked so hard on for us!
I boil a pound of pasta ( usually tri-color rotini or the bow-ties) and cook until done.
Rinse the pasta with cold water to cool it off and draining.
Mix in with the veggies.
Add 1/2 cup of either shredded or cubed cheese of your choice.
Add 1/4 bottle of Italian dressing (I like Ken’s Northern Italian)
Add 1/4 bottle of Ken’s Lite Parmesan and Peppercorn Dressing
Mix it together and enjoy!!

I’m not really commenting on your Pasta salad though having had it I must say it is very good. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your writing and the pictures you share. When I read them I feel like we are in the same room drinking some tea and not so far away. Thanks.
I taught you to make the pasta salad!
