Delicious...I love pasta salads and the addition of pesto really makes this a winner.
Ingredients:
16 ounces pasta, uncooked
12 ounces frozen corn, thawed
15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
8 1/2 ounces sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
10 ounces pesto sauce
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, cook pasta to al dente per box directions. I use small pasta, eg, small bowtie.
2. Rinse pasta in cold water.
3. Mix pasta with corn and black beans; set aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, pesto, cheese, oil, salt and pepper.
5. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
6. Refrigerate at least 4 hours to blend flavors and keep chilled until serving.
