Summer Pasta Salad

Summer Pasta Salad

I love making this dish in a big batch and then munching on it all week. It's perfect for coming home and eating a quick lunch in between summer errands or to even pack up in a little container and take to the pool for a pool side snack! It is obviously a cold pasta so that also makes it nice, light, and summery. This easy staple will not disappoint this summer!



Shopping List

Two packages of tortellini ( I used the Buitoni brand stuffed with cheese. The possibilities are endless though with Buitoni brand...you can choose whichever you like.)

Procedure

Cook your pasta according to the packaged directions...drain and set aside

in a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Add Pasta at the end and a few gluts of Olive oil..squeeze in the Lemon juice and add the salt and pepper to taste. I also added a few torn strips of basil for some extra flavor! Keep in the fridge when not eating.
