Green Goddess Pasta Salad

This pasta salad is light, healthy, full of flavor and crunch. The fusilli whole grain pasta gives it a chewy satisfying bite. I love this salad on a warm spring day on the back porch with a tall glass of iced green tea. Perfection!

Ingredients

1 lb. of whole grain fusilli, cooked al dente and drained

1 medium zucchini, sliced and cut in half

1 medium yellow squash, sliced and cut in half

1 cup of freshly shucked peas

2 cups of fresh spinach

1 tub of store bought basil pesto

3/4 to 1 cup of fresh goat cheese

salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Cook your pasta. When your pasta is almost finished add your freshly shucked raw peas to the boiling water. Let them cook for 1 minute. Drain your pasta and peas and place them in a large bowl. Add your sliced zucchini and yellow squash, spinach, pesto, and goats cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mix lightly and serve warm or cold.

Enjoy!
