A wonderful and light pasta salad. I serve in a bowl lined with fresh spinach leaves. I got this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens.
Ingredients:
8 ounces ziti pasta or 8 ounces rigatoni pasta, cooked,drained,and rinsed
1 cup lightly packed fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaf
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
Directions:
1. In a blender combine spinach, basil, garlic, cheese, salt and pepper.
2. Add oil and water, cover and blend until nearly smooth and mixture is a paste.
3. Add mayo to the spinach mixture.
4. Add to pasta and toss well to coat.
5. Chill at least 4 hours covered.
6. Can be made the day before.
