Pasta Salad

Description

A simple dish to prepare. For this salad, choose pasta made from hard wheat varieties in a suitable shape: shells, bows, combs, small feathers. I used bows, but you can use other shapes. The key principle in preparing such salads is to cook the pasta until "almost" done, or al dente. This way, they hold their shape well in the salad and absorb the dressing. Now it's time to check out the recipe for the "Bows" pasta salad, get inspired—and make something similar :) Serve chilled.
