Warm Pasta Salad

Okay. So here's the deal. I love pasta. There are a few kinds of pasta I am very comfortable with making, but hey, college is a time to try new things. So here what I have created is a recipe I am proud of, it's super simple but it's perfect for a quick filling college meal.

you need
     {your favorite pasta- one serving amount
     {your favorite salad dressing
     {add ins- choose whatever you have on hand
         chicken   
         cheese
         veggies ect.
               tomatoes- fresh or sun-dried
               spinach
               zucchini
               *anything works*


As simple as it seems, this recipe works for me because I can change it up, just by using the different indigents I have on hand at the time. Don't be afraid to mix all your veggies together- after all, the more veggies the better.


Here is what I used: normal macaroni, my favorite Cesar dressing, bagged and washed spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, with chicken. The trick about the chicken is buying a rotisserie chicken and shredding it up myself at then I can throw it into anything during the week. Just simply cook the pasta and add the dressing and add ins right on top of the warm pasts, mix and enjoy.


***NEW TIP***
If you want to wilt spinach into any pasta, put the spinach into the strainer first and then dump the boiling and fully-cooked pasta on top. Between the hot water and sitting underneath the hot noodles, the leaves will come out perfectly cooked every time. So no need for a separate pan; wilting has never been easier.
