Ingredients
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 6 oz. broccoli chopped (~2 cups)
- ½ red onion chopped
- 2 large carrots halved and chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 oz. bow tie pasta
- ¼ cup fresh basil sliced thinly
Parmesan Cheese Dressing
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉.
- Place the red pepper, broccoli, red onion, and carrots onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toss together until everything is evenly coated. Bake for 20 minutes.
- While the vegetables are roasting, cook the noodles according to package instructions for about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Remove the vegetables from the oven and refrigerate with the noodles for at least 1 hour.
- To prepare the dressing, add all of the ingredients into a bowl and whisk to combine. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
- Place the noodles, veggies, and fresh basil into a large bowl with the dressing and toss until all the ingredients are coated.
- Serve immediately.
Tips & Notes
- This dish can be eaten hot or cold. If you are serving it cold, we recommend cooling all cooked ingredients before adding the dressing. Hot noodles will absorb the dressing.
- While that is great when eaten hot, it will create a dryer pasta salad when served cold.
- To grill the veggies, add them to a grill basket after they have been seasoned and grill for 5-10 minutes.
