Summer Spaghetti Recipe

	Angelinaw / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months ago My family made a "white spaghetti" that was perfect in the summer time. I have tweaked the idea and came up with this.

Ingredients

2 Tomatoes, chopped

1/4 Red onion, chopped

6 Mushrooms, chopped

3 Green Onions, chopped

1 Green Pepper, chopped

1/2 can sliced Black Olives

1/2 box thin spaghetti

2 Tbsp pesto

2 Tbsp oregano

2 Tbsp chopped parsley

2 Tbsp minced garlic

Dressing:

1 bottle Zesty Italian dressing (for an easy cheat)

If not interested in cheating use:

Virgin Olive Oil

Balsamic Vinegar

Topping: 1 cup block mozzarella cheese, cut into chunks or use feta cheese crumbs

Basil Leaves for garnish

NOTE: The beauty of this recipe is that you can add or remove vegetable choices based on your taste preferences. You could add artichoke hearts to dress this up.

Directions

Combine vegetables in a bowl

Pour 1/2 of dressing on top

Mix in pesto, oregano, parsley, and garlic.

Let the vegetable mixture marry in the refrigerator for at least an hour. I have had best results with an overnight chill.

Cook Spaghetti per instructions, drain, and set aside. Chill noodles in the refrigerator for about fifteen minutes.

Pour the dressing mixture over noodles and begin to toss. Adjust (as the noodles begin to soak up the marinade) with the other half of the dressing. The end result should be a light coating of the mixture over the noodles as you toss.

Top with the cheese and basil leaves.Lightly toss to distribute through the bowl. Watch your vegetable do not sink to the bottom of the bowl.

NOTE: This dish can be made a head of time and served later. If you want to do so, just pour a little of the dressing over the noodles before you refrigerate them to keep them moist.

Serve and enjoy!

Angelina I go crazy over this type of recipe with the pesto olives and vegetables in summertime or any time of year sometime adding artichokes to vary the recipe.
Wonderful! Five forks
