https://equinlab.com/2024/01/18/5u2wcn6z With all of these ingredients left over from the weekend I had an idea to use my pasta and arugula in a salad but didn’t know what type of dressing. So I “googled” and believe it or not there were a lot of people that had already beaten me to this salad idea. So I took Food and Wine’s recipe and added a couple of things.

https://therepairstore.ca/7w382nfbun Like I was saying in another post, I always buy too much food when my kids come home, in fact, when anyone comes over. A few weekends ago when my daughter came I had bought some cute pasta to use in a pasta salad and never got around to using it, I also had bought some frozen petite peas that I was going to use to make my pasta pesto saladthat I had made for our garden club luncheon last year. That was the easiest salad ever. But along with those two ingredients I had a whole box of baby arugula and some very pretty colored cherry tomatoes in orange, purple, red and yellow.

I have a weakness for “cute” pastas. This particular one was a trottole pasta (looks like spinning tops (that’s a toy if you didn’t know what a “top” was)) and who could resist Orechetti (little ears), or little O’s, ABC’s, coral shapes and I’ve even bought Maple leaf shaped pasta when we visited Canada, and of course I have bought Texas shaped pasta.

If you love pasta you probably already know that the pasta is just the vessel to hold some yummy sauce or ingredients. Most pastas have basically the same ingredients unless you get into the gluten-free ones. And, if you love different shapes of pasta, you have to look at this site, because there are quite a few shapes I have never even seen before; even one that resembles a gladiator’s shield — who knew?

This pasta and arugula salad is going to me on my http://www.wowogallery.com/y1c96z7zfqx 4th of July menu. What I loved most about this salad, or the TWO things I loved most, are the dressing and the peppery taste that all that arugula gives you in every bite. Hope you will try this salad and if you do, please leave a note below in the “comment” section.
