Pioneer Woman's Pasta Salad With Tomatoes, Zucchini and Feta

Submitted by linguinelisa

"I found this recipe on Pioneer Womans website...........it's great! Best pasta salad I have ever made."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 12 ounces bow tie pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon, juiced
• salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• 2 zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, then cut in half again lengthwise, then cut into slices
• 6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
• 10 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
• 1⁄3 cup minced parsley

directions

1. Cook bowtie pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse. Add olive oil and lemon juice, salt and pepper. Pioneer Woman says DO NOT UNDERSALT! Toss and then add zucchini, tomatoes, parsley and feta cheese. Toss.
2. Add more of whatever you think it needs. PW says she likes to go heavy on the feta. Squeeze in a little more lemon juice and/or drizzle in a little more olive oil if it looks like it needs more moisture. Cover and refrigerate a few hours before serving.

I really like light pasta salads like this. This one in particular was fresh-tasting and earthy. Not overly flavorful, but that's good with a side dish like this one... especially when you're serving it with BBQ like I did. I'd love to try the recipe with crumbled goat cheese instead of feta next time. [Made & Reviewed for PRMR]
