Cold Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta Salad

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Salad

Ingredients

  • box of pasta of your choice (I like bow tie or penne)
  • 1 cup of pesto, either homemade or store bought
  • 1/2 cup of ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup of fresh tomatoes
  • 1 – 8oz. package of fresh sliced mushrooms
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 Tablespoon butter

Directions

  1. Cook your pasta and set aside.

  2. Saute your mushrooms on the stove with the butter and garlic for around 4 minutes until cooked.

  3. Mix the ranch dressing and pesto together.

  4. In a large bowl mix pasta, dressing, mushrooms, fresh and sun-dried tomatoes together and chill for at least an hour or two. It gets better as it chills more.
