This quick and easy pasta salad is a great accompaniment to most any meat dish. It can be made with any shape of pasta, however the pinched areas of the bow tie pasta hold the garlic forward dressing.
Ingredients
2 cups bow tie pasta
2 tbsp sun dried tomatoes
1 tbsp pickled onions
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Ingredients – Dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp pesto dijon mustard
1 tsp garlic paste*
1 tsp salt
Prepare the pasta according to package directions. Chop the sun dried tomatoes and set aside. Prepare the dressing by mixing the oil, mustard, garlic paste and salt. (*You can purchase ready made garlic paste in a grocery store in the organic section for salad dressings. To make your own, crush 2 large garlic cloves with 1 teaspoon capers, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice in a mortar and pestle.) Toss together dressing, pasta, tomatoes and onions. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and refrigerate until cool.
