Smoked Gouda and Arugula Pasta Salad
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
8-10
ingredients
- 1 lb rotini pasta
- 1⁄2 lb smoked gouda cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1⁄2 cup light mayonnaise
- 1 (6 ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and thinly sliced
- 2 cups arugula
- salt and pepper
directions
- Boil the pasta 7-9 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Mix all remaining ingredients with the pasta.
- Chill until ready to serve. Add more mayo if needed and mix one more time just before serving.
- Note: Arugula is strong and peppery tasting. If you prefer a milder and more tender texture, substitute fresh baby spinach. Cottage Living calls for Penne pasta, but I like rotini. Any pasta that will "grab" the mayo will work. Bowtie pasta would look lovely in this dish.
