Jude wanted pasta with butter for dinner. Not a wide selection noodles given our quarantine conditions, but we had some bowties in the cupboard. They’d been there awhile so I emptied the bag in the pot, figuring I could use any leftovers to make a salad. Here’s what I threw together.
Pasta Salad with leftover bowties:
1 stick celery, diced
handful of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 green onion, sliced
15 kalamata olives, pitted
1 small garlic clove, chopped
salt & pepper
2 Tbl olive oil
1/2 Tbl balsamic pear vinegar
1/2 Tbl red wine vinegar
It was fantastic! It was enough for two good servings. All the amounts were estimated on the fly. Things that might have been good: Fresh Basil, capers, grated Parm or Romano.
