Description
A delightful pasta salad bursting with flavors of creamy dressing, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh herbs, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pasta (fusilli or rotini)
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup creamy dressing (e.g., ranch or Italian)
- 1 cup cheese (e.g., feta or mozzarella), crumbled or cubed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil the pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and allow the pasta to cool completely.
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the cooled pasta, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, creamy dressing, and cheese until every piece is well-coated.
- Spice it up: Add garlic powder, dried basil, salt, and pepper, stirring gently until all ingredients are well blended.
- Chill out: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve: Present your Marry Me Pasta Salad chilled or at room temperature, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or extra cheese.
Notes
For best flavors, make the salad a day in advance. You can customize by adding vegetables or using different cheese.
