Take a look at my California Pasta Salad, which is made with basic ingredients and drizzled with my simple, yet powerful, roasted garlic Italian dressing. It’s amazing how much I could eat of this stuff for weeks or maybe longer.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 Tbsp.Of sesame seeds.
  • 1 Tsp.Of paprika.

PREPARATION:

  • First Step – For this recipe, I started cooking the noodles according to the package directions, then I rinsed them in cold water.
  • Second Step – Secondly, I diced all the vegetables; zucchini, cherry tomatoes, green and red peppers, red onions, and cucumbers, and I added everything to a big mixing bowl and mixed them together.
  • Third Step – To make the sauce, I combined Italian dressing with sesame seeds, freshly grated parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, celery seeds, and garlic powder in a separate mixing dish.
  • Fourth Step – Finally, I mixed the spaghetti with chopped veggies and olives, then drizzled the marinade over it and stirred it all together.
  • Fifth Step – After covering the container with plastic wrap, I placed it in the refrigerator for at least three hours to let all the flavors be integrated.
