Easy Recipe: {Pesto Pasta Salad}

Here is a yummy and super easy for a Pesto Pasta Salad. I make this when I have a pop-up party, making dinner for others, or even catering an event. The longest part of this salad is really just waiting for the pasta to cool. I wish I could tell you that I made the pasta by hand and made homemade pesto sauce...but I normally take the easy way out and use boxed pasta and delicious pre-made pesto.

{Pesto Pasta Salad}

Ingredients:

• 1 box of Rotini {Corkscrew} or Farfalle {Bowtie} pasta
• 1 package of cherry tomatoes {cut in half lengthwise}
• 1 small can of sliced black olives
• 1 small purple onion {small diced}
• 3/4 cup of pesto sauce...I felt bad leaving you hanging with out a "real" pesto sauce recipe.

 Directions:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and put in a large bowl to cool. 
• Once the pasta is cooled, add tomatoes, black olives, onion, and pesto. Add s & p to taste. Toss all together and enjoy!

SEE, I told you it was easy! Look at how yummy it is!
