Angel hair, squish, peas, red pepper flakes, parm, and, wait for it, generic over the counter zesty Italian bottled dressing. Served hot. This was not my idea. I didn’t want to do it. But she came up with it and I couldn’t say no.
Did it work? Yes, barely. I was going to make Italian dressing but she said no. This bottled stuff is way too sweet even in the small amount I used. Italian dressing shouldn’t have sugar in it. In this case 1.5 grams per tablespoon. If I do it again I’d make the dressing.
Cost per person $1.25.
Italian dressing shouldn’t have sugar in it.
Amen. And it’s so easy to make with ingredients most people already have in their kitchen.
Yup.
Usually not a fan of bottled dressings, especially with sugar. Just personal preference, to each their own. That being said, this looks really good.
Serving cold could help if you have leftovers
No leftovers. I might change the pasta to fusilli which would also make it more like a traditional pasta salad if served cold.
Don’t sell yourself short.
It looks delicious.
