Who doesn’t love something that’s nutritious, easy to make, and even better as leftovers? I know I do, especially as a college student. Growing up, my mom & dad always wanted to make me, pasta salad. This recipe is so easy to manipulate and modify depending on taste and budget. Below is my best impression and favorite version:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Half a box of rotini noodles<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 can of pitted black olives<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 bag of steamable assorted veggies<\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/2 Carton of cherry tomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n Italian dressing<\/strong><\/p>\n Parmesan\u00a0cheese\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Boil the noodles until done. In a large bowl mix noodles, olives, cherry tomatoes, and veggies together. Once mixed, add as much Italian dressing as you would like. If you like, sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top for taste! Super simple, easy to make lunch on the go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Who doesn’t love something that’s nutritious, easy to make, and even better as leftovers?
