I've always been a fan of pasta salad, because you can serve it hot or cold, and it's great for leftovers! Also, you can pretty much add whatever you want to it, so have fun with it!

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 11 minutes

You will need:
-cutting board and knife
-large pot
-large spoon
-large bowl

Ingredients:
-1 box/bag bow tie pasta (or any other pasta that isn't spaghetti or linguine)  
-1 celery stalk, chopped
-1/2 cup sweet peas
-sundried tomatoes, to taste, sliced
-artichoke hearts, sliced
-black olives, sliced
-1 can garbanzo beans
-1/2 can kidney beans, if you wish
-1 cup Italian dressing
-3 tablespoons olive oil
-salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
-boil pasta until al dente
-remove from pot, strain, and place in bowl
-add all of the ingredients and stir
