This
weekend, my sister Jillian came to visit and we had a family BBQ down at the
pool. Well, with all this healthy eating and the vitamin regimen I have been
on, we didn't really want to just throw some oily chips in a bowl and
call it a side. So, being the little DIYers that we are, we decided to recreate
the La
Madeleine Pesto Pasta Salad. Oh boy, was it heavenly.
Ingredients:
16oz package dry
bowtie pasta
8 Tbsp pesto (I
actually only used 4 because the jar I bought was small)
1/2 C sundried
tomatoes, chopped
1/2 C Roma
tomatoes, chopped
4 Tbsp Parmesan
Cheese, grated
1/2 C spinach,
diced
1/2 C green onions,
diced
4 Tbsp Ceasar
dressing (I probably used about 6 to compensate for less pesto)
Directions:
Boil noodles until
a little over Al Dente. Drain, rinse, set aside and let cool slightly.
Add all other
ingredients, mix well. Serve chilled.
Bon appétit!

ReplyDeleteYou left out the chicken dingbat
ReplyDelete¿ i don't recall any chicken in la madeleine's pasta salad?
DeleteThere is no chicken in this pesto salad.
Deletei've come back to this recipe so many times over the years, it's so good
ReplyDeleteYou should change the title because ALAS! They no longer serve this and instead have a gross rigatoni pasta which is way too big to be in a pasta salad imho but who am I ?! Tysm for the recipe because my visit yesterday after not going for 5+ years will be my last. My tomato basil is better and my pasta salad will be too thanks to you. Overpriced, tiny portions that were so gross.
ReplyDeleteIt's still the tomato basil pesto pasta but they changed the bowtie pasta to penne pasta 4-5 years ago. The flavor is still there but the noodles are definitely too hearty to be a light pasta salad side dish like it used to be.
