Ingredients
-
1 Package Ancient Harvest Quinoa Pasta, 8 oz.
1/3 C Wishbone Romano Basil Vinaigrette
1/2 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
1/2 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1/2 Yellow Bell Pepper, chopped
1/8 C onion, chopped
1/4 C Red Ripe Tomato, diced
3 oz. Mozzerella Cheese, in small cubes
(I use 2, part-skim mozz. cheese sticks and cut them into small slices)
1 package, Hormel Turkey Pepperoni
Directions
Prep all ingredients: Chop peppers, tomato, onion, and mozzerella and put into a serving bowl.
Follow directions on box of pasta; cook for about 9 minutes--the pasta will be slightly firm, but this is perfect. Quinoa pasta does not cook like regular pasta noodles--the quinoa will end up mushy after it cools if you cook it too long (likened to the firmness of a "regular" noodle).
Strain and run cold water over noodles to stop the cooking process and to get your noodles to tempurature. Add the noodles to the veggie/cheese blend and stir gently. Add the Romano-Basil dressing and the turkey pepperoni. Fold all the ingredients in, and presto, a delicious side dish!
