Pasta Salad - How do you do yours?

[loopylou]

I'm going to a BBQ on the weekend, and have offered to bring a potato salad and a pasta salad. I'm fine on the potato salad front but need some inspiration on the pasta salad, ideally meat free as I am catering for one veggie.

So OCUK, how do you do yours?

Can't do chillis, there are going to be 5 breast feeding mums there, no one is going to want to deal with a new born with chilli bum!

My favourite pasta salad is dead simple. Cook some pasta, drain it and stick it back over a very low heat. Stir in a jar of decent pesto. Chuck in a decent amount of frozen peas. Add a couple of good handfuls of spinach and stir until it's wilted and the peas are cooked through. Really nice and pretty healthy, works well next to some chicken or on its own.

Yum, this may be a winner
