Vegan pasta salad Recipe

This vegan pasta salad recipe was super delicious and crazy easy!

 

Forgive me if I don't have the exact measurements for this recipe.  It's more of a guide.  I tend to cook by throwing things in and hoping for the best.  Here is the loose recipe (guide) for my vegan pasta salad.

 

Ingredients:

Farfalle pasta (I used about 1/2 box)                               

~2 Tsp Olive Oil (or oil of choice)

1/2 Yellow Bell Pepper

1/2 Orange Bell Pepper

A Few Handfulls of Fresh Baby Spinach

A Few Handfulls of Grape Tomatoes

Italian Dressing (I used Wegman's Zesty Italian Vinaigrette)

Cook the farfalle pasta to your liking and drain.  While pasta is cooking chop bell peppers into happy little pieces and destem your baby spinach (I hate eating spinach stems).

Heat oil in the bottom of the pasta pan (why dirty 2 pans???) and add your bell peppers.  Cook the peppers just until they soften (but if you like softer peppers, keep on cookin').  Add the baby spinach and cook just until wilted.  Add your pasta in and stir all the ingredients around.  Toss in your tomatoes and drizzle your desired amount of dressing over the entire dish, then stir to incorporate.

Super simple!  You can even add olives, mushrooms, or peas.  The options are limitless.  You can also make this a main dish by adding protein like seitan, vegan meatless options like Gardein products, or cooked tofu.
