This is one of my favorite quick meals I love to do when I have nothing else in mind but I still
want to eat something filling yet light. For some people, pasta is everything but light, but hey,
I’m a carb type of person--I digest them super well and if I don’t get carbs in a meal I end up
feeling hungry again within 30 minutes.
My boyfriend is half-Italian and his heritage inspires me every time. This pasta salad was inspired by Italy but, of course, if you change some ingredients it can turn into a delightful Turkish or any other nation inspired pasta salad. (I’m a pretty lazy cook, so that’s how I operate with leftovers.) I just add some spices and different veggies and we have a whole new dish, so we don’t get bored of eating the same food over and over again.
I hope you enjoy this simple but satisfying vegan, gluten-free pasta salad with baked vegges and herbs! Making this recipe in the United State? Consult this handy conversion calculator.
