So I was reading though the Rachel Ray magizne and found a great way to make pasta salad. Usually I make it like my mom makes it or anyone else I know but this is a great change at least I think so. So I'll tell you how I usually make it then tell you how Rachel Ray makes it and tell me are you like me or her??? If you make it different how so? Would you try either of these? What would you modify? ME: Pound of Bow Tie pasta Half a bottle of Italian dressing Hand full of cut up tomatoes 1 or 2 green and red peppers Hand full of cube cheese Black and green olives combine cooked pasta, tomatoes, peppers, cheese, olives toss and add dressing put in fridge for and hour before serving. Rachel Ray: 1 pound of bowtie pasta Grated peel and juice of 1 lemon 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil Salt and Peper 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped 2 cups torn arugula 4 hard boiled eggs, chopped 1/2 cup parmesan cheese 1/2 cup pine nuts 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill Make pasta In a small bowl, combine the lemon peel lemon juice and EVOO with salt and pepper Large bowl mix together pasta bell pepper arugula eggs parmesan pine nuts and dill add lemon dressing and toss.
