PASTA SALAD WITH CAESAR DRESSING

SERVES 4-6

Every now and then you have to try a different pasta salad. This one is very good.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups uncooked pasta, such as elbows or shells

1 cup frozen broccoli florets

1/2 cup coarsely chopped red bell peppers

1/4 cup homemade or bottled Caesar salad dressing (more or less depending on flavor and consistency)

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 cup homemade croutons

Cook the pasta in lightly salted boiling water until al dente; add the broccoli and peppers during the last 3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking; drain well. Toss with the dressing. Add the cheese and pepper; toss again. Taste for seasoning. Serve at room temperature, adding the croutons just before serving.
