I got the inspiration for this pasta salad from a pasta primavera I recently made. This recipe is SO easy and so yummy!
*1 pound cooked pasta (any shape you choose)
*4 carrots, cut into bit size pieces
*1/2 green and 1/2 red bell peppers cut into bite size pieces
*1 can sliced olives
*10 cherry tomoatoes, each cut in half
Combine all these ingredients in a large bowl. Now for the pesto sauce:
*2 cups basil leaves, packed
*1/2 teaspoon salt
*1/2 teaspoon pepper
*1 garlic clove
*1/4 pine nuts (toasted if you have time)
*2/3 cup olive oil
*1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Combine first 5 ingredients in a food processer and blend. Add about 2/3 cup olive oil until a creamy sauce forms. Lastly, stir in cheese. Add this sauce to your pasta and vegies and you have a fabulous pasta salad! Enjoy! (Can be served warm or cold.)
