Recipe #6 - Pasta Salad

This dish is super simple and delicious. The possibilities are endless as well. You can make it fresh or with leftover noodles. It's also a good way to empty your fridge.

What I used:
-Half a bag of spiral noodles
-Half a cucumber
-1 red pepper
-1 orange pepper
- A can of olives
- A handful of cherry tomatoes
- Balsamic vinegar

What to do:
- Fill a large pot 2/3 full of water and set to "high" on the stove
-Wash and chop your veggies
*This part is optional*
Put some olive oil in a frying pan
Set it to "high"
Add the peppers and tomatoes
Fry until they reach desired mushyness
-----

-When the water boils add the noodles
-Cook until soft all the way through but not overly so
-Drain

Dump everything in a bowl and splash some vinegar (or salad dressing) over everything.

Eat and enjoy!
This gave me dinner and a lunch for the next day.


Note: You can literally add anything to a pasta salad. Meat, cheese, strawberries, other veggies, etc. It will taste great no matter what.
