Serving Times Prepare the dressing 1 or 2 days ahead and store in
a cruet in the refrigerator. |
Money Savers Dried pasta should
be stored in an airtight container or it will become stale and crumbly.
Choose a container with an interesting shape so countertop storage is
decorative as well as functional. |
Serving Variation
Bow tie pasta makes a fun variation to this dish. Add 1/2
cup grated Parmesan cheese for even more flavor. |
