Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Italian Bow Tie Pasta Salad.
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, add the bow tie pasta and cook for approximately 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the pasta and give it a refreshing rinse under cold water to cool it down, then drain again to remove excess moisture.
Step 4
In a spacious bowl, combine the cooled pasta with chopped tomatoes, diced green and yellow bell peppers, crisp cucumber, sliced black olives, and crunchy celery.
Step 5
Drizzle a generous amount of Italian-style dressing over the vibrant pasta medley and toss everything together until each ingredient is beautifully coated.
Step 6
For the best flavor experience, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving, allowing the ingredients to harmonize and create a delightful taste sensation.
Step 7
Enjoy this colorful dish as a refreshing side or a light main course!.
