Light Pasta Salad

Collection: Vegetarian Recipes

Ingredients

  • capers (and juice)
  • roma tomatos
  • fresh basil
  • pasta (any kind, I like garlic/parsley ribbons, spinach pasta is good too)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic (optional)

Directions

Ingredient amounts very from taste to how many servings you want.

Boil and cook pasta. While it's cooking chop
tomatos and basil to your desired size (I like
my basil very fine, but my tomatos in bite-
sized pieces). Drain pasta and run over cold
water to cool quickly. Add everything into
one bowl, and add a bit of caper juice for
moisture. You can add oil instead, but the fat
content raises greatly.

This is perfect for a summer lunch, potluck,
or just a nice left over to take to work with
you.

Serves: any amount

Preparation time: 10 minutes (depending on pasta)
