Summertime Garden Veggie Pasta Salad image

It's been so hot the past few days I've been trying to keep cooking to a minimum. I came up with this pasta salad to put some garden herbs and veggies and ones I had in the refrigerator to use.

Provided by Myra9035

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups rotini pasta, dry
water, to cook
1 dash salt
1 dash olive oil
2 medium carrots, julienned
1 medium red bell pepper, 1/2 inch dice
1 cup fresh green beans, ends trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons fresh peas (or frozen)
3 spring onions or 3 scallions, chopped
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon mustard
1 -2 teaspoon capers (optional)
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh tarragon, chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in boiling salted water according to directions, (usually about 10 minutes) but do not overcook. Mushy pasta will not work well for this recipe. Add a dash of olive oil to keep pasta from sticking while cooking.
  • In a bamboo or other type of steamer, steam the julienned carrot, fresh peas and green beans for about 5 minutes until just tender. Alternately, you could parboil them for just a few minutes to get them softened just a bit.
  • Drain and rinse pasta under cold water in a colander. Add to large bowl.
  • Mix steamed carrots, green beans and peas together into pasta. Add red bell pepper, green onions/scallions, and chopped tomatoes.
  • Mix ingredients for dressing together, and pour over pasta and veggies. Mix well to combine.
  • Place lid or plastic wrap over the bowl and let chill in refrigerator for at least an hour to let flavors meld.
