Campanelle Pasta Salad

By susanwadle

Campanelle is a bell shaped pasta that may be hard to find - I think that you could easily substitute fusilli or shells.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup roasted red pepper — chopped
• 1 each red onion — chopped
• 1 cup cooked peas
• 3 each scallions — sliced thin
• 1/4 cup kalamata olive — chopped
• 1 cup pesto sauce — homemade or your favorite
• 1 pound pasta — Campanelle
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the peppers,onion,peas,scallion and olives in a large bowl.
Cook your pasta in boiling water according to package directions. Drain well but reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
Toss the hot pasta with the pesto adding enough water to combine. Add this to the vegetables and toss well. Sprinkle with the parmesan.
Refridgerate and bring to room temperature to serve.
