This Pomodoro Pasta Salad is loaded with flavor! Chunks of roasted garlic, olives, cherry tomatoes and fresh Parmesan make this easy salad a pot-luck party winner!
If I had to name one ingredient which is always in my pantry, it would be pasta. Many times a bag of penne has saved me from making a last minute trip to the store in search of something for dinner.
So making this roasted garlic Pomodoro Pasta salad was an easy decision. Whether it's served hot or cold, or if you're like my kids and like to snack on it raw (say what?) pasta is a great way to create an easy and filling meal with very little extra ingredients needed.
It's fast to cook, it doubles in volume so it can feed these guys for days and it's cheap! I paid 99 cents for a 1 pound bag...awesome.
Pomodoro Pasta Salad is an Italian dish primarily made with tomatoes. This cold salad version is one that I used to make often at work and was always one of my favorites.
It's packed with roasted garlic cloves and if you've never tried garlic like this, then add it to your foodie bucket list!
The garlic becomes sweet and chewy and tastes nothing like how it tastes in its raw form. Be warned though, roasting garlic will stink your house out for days...in a very very nice way.
