This is a favorite of my household. I "break it out" once the crock-pot is stored away and the sun emerges. It's a lovely accent to the lighter meals of spring and summer.
Ingredients:
-
1 (¾ ounce)
garlic & herb salad dressing mix
(prepared, use 1/4 cup of oil for less fat)
-
12 ounces
rotini pasta
(Tri-color, prepared)
-
8 ½ ounces
artichoke hearts
(drained)
-
8 ½ ounces
sun-dried tomatoes
(drained)
-
8 ½ ounces
olives
(are tasty, but optional)
Directions:
1
Prepare the dressing and pasta ahead. You may opt to prepare the dressing as instructed, but this will boost the fat content. Toss the remaining ingredients in with the pasta and dressing. Chill for a minimum of fifteen minutes before serving.
