Sundried Tomato Pasta Salad

Here is another pasta salad recipe which I adaped from Pioneer Woman.

The Recipe:

Sundried Tomato Pasta Salad

• 1 jar sundried tomatoes (7ish oz.)
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 16 ounces corkscrew pasta
  
• 1/2 jar Kalamata olives
• 1 pint ripe cherry tomatoes (cut in halves)
• 8 - 10 leaves of basil, chopped
• 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese or other hard cheese
  

In a blender or food chopper, combine sundried tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, and vinegar. Drizzle in olive oil until blended together. Set aside.

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water until no longer hot.

Pour 2/3 of the sundried tomato dressing over the pasta. Add olives and toss together. Add tomatoes, basil, and parmesan, tossing together and adding more dressing until the salad is coated to your liking.

Sprinkle a little extra parmesan on top and enjoy!
