My Favorite Summer Salad

Pasta Salad Primavera

3 c uncooked pasta shells
3 carrots, sliced
3 ¾ c broccoli florets
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1 small red onion, minced
1 7oz can whole kernel corn, drained
3 Tbs olive oil
4 cloves garlic, pressed
2 tsp basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
6 oz Italian cheese
Cook the Pasta according to directions. Drain and Set aside. Steam carrots and broccoli until tender (4-5 min). Place the vegetables in a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix well. (If your family is smaller, this meal saves great, but don’t add the cheese to the whole bowl, just add it to your own portion.)
