DirectionsStep1For either type of pasta, bring a medium-sized pan of water to a boil, adding a little salt to the water.Step2For Palmini Pasta, drain the noodles well and cut apart with kitchen shears. (For Rotini pasta, just open the box!)Step3Cook the pasta exactly 5 minutes for Palmini Pasta, or about 9 minutes for regular Rotini Pasta. (Check the package for cooking time.)Step4While pasta cooks, drain the jar of roasted red peppers well. (I found peppers already sliced in strips, but slice or chop if needed.)Step5Drain a can of black olives and cut in half.Step6When pasta is cooked the correct amount of time for the pasta you're using, drain pasta well and let cool about 10 minutes.Step7Combine Newman's Own Olive Oil and Vinegar Dressing (affiliate link), with my Basil Pesto with Lemon or whatever pesto you're using.Step8After the pasta cools for 10 minutes, stir in enough dressing to coat the slightly-warm pasta. (You may not need all the dressing, but save the rest in case you want to add it later.)Step9Combine the pasta with dressing, diced red bell pepper, and olives. Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge 1-3 hours.Step10To serve, mix in 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (or more!) and a little more dressing if the salad seems dry.Step11Serve slightly chilled or at or room temperatureIngredientsIngredientsadd ouncesWhole Wheat Rotini Pasta (or one 14 oz. can Palmini Linguini, see notes)1 6-ounce canBlack Olives1 12-ounce jarRoasted Red Bell Pepper⅓ cupNewman's Own Classic Oil And Vinegar Dressing (see notes)⅓ cupPesto (see notes)¼ cupParmesan Cheese (freshly grated, or more)add Salt And Fresh Ground Black PepperNutritionalNutritional243 Calories3.9 gTotal Fat10 mgCholesterol14 gCarbohydrate677 mgSodium6 gProteinFrom kalynskitchen.comRecipeDirectionsIngredientsNutritionalExplore further4-Ingredient Pesto Pasta Salad - Simply Side Dishessimplysidedishes.comPesto Pasta Salad - The Pioneer Womanthepioneerwoman.comPesto Pasta Salad (Easy 30 Minute Recipe) Girl Gone …girlgonegourmet.comGiada de Laurentiis' Pesto Pasta Salad Recipe - Paradeparade.comPesto Pasta Salad - Simply Recipessimplyrecipes.comRecommended to you based on what's popular • Feedback
