Betty demonstrates how to make Perky Pasta Salad. This is a salad made with cooked rotini combined with mushrooms, green onion, red green bell peppers, and Parmesan cheese--all flavored with Italian salad dressing and freshly-ground black pepper. It is colorful and tasty, and it can be used as a complete meal or as a side dish. • Perky Pasta Salad • 2 1/2 cups pasta, uncooked (I used rotini pasta.) • 1 teaspoon salt • water, for cooking pasta • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms • 1/2 cup finely-shredded Parmesan cheese • 1/2 cup Italian-flavored salad dressing (Rick and I think 1/2 cup makes the salad a little bland, and that a full cup makes the salad zestier--your choice!) • 1/4 cup sliced green onion tops • 1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper, or to taste • 1/2 green bell pepper, washed, seeded, and cut into 3/8-inch strips, cut in half • 1/2 red bell pepper, washed, seeded, and cut into 3/8-inch strips, cut in half • Fill a medium to large pot half-full of water, and bring it to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 2 1/2 cups of pasta. Bring back to a boil, and cook the pasta until al dente (chewy, not mushy), about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse well with cold water. Add 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, 1/2 cup finely-shredded Parmesan cheese, 1/2 to 1 cup of Italian salad dressing, 1/4 cup sliced green onion tops, 1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper (or to taste), 1/2 green pepper, cut into strips, and 1/2 red pepper, cut into strips. Toss well. Cover and chill until ready to serve. (This salad will taste better if allowed to chill at least 1 hour.) Serve in individual salad bowls. This is a gorgeous salad, and very tasty. Remember to add Italian dressing to your own taste! I hope you enjoy this recipe! --Betty :) • Please subscribe: / bettyskitchen • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • NEW Cookbook: Betty's Kitchen Cookbook: 2013 Recipes (c) 2014 • Also available: The Betty's Kitchen Collection: Second Edition (c) 2013 • *Both can be ordered from http://www.amazon.com or http://www.createspace.com • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • Betty's Website: http://www.bettyskitchen.us • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • Other places to watch Betty's Kitchen: • Facebook: / 166973502092 • Pinterest: / bettyskitchen • Twitter: / myshine • Google+: https://plus.google.com/1088824451018... • ifood.tv: http://www.ifood.tv/bettyskitchen • Roku: http://www.rokuguide.com/channels/bet...
