EASY GREEK PASTA SALAD
16 ounces short pasta (penne, bowtie, fusilli, etc)
1 English cucumber diced
1-pint grape tomatoes halved
1 bell pepper diced (yellow or orange)
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives sliced
1/2 cup red onion diced
3 ounces of feta cheese crumbled
Greek Salad Dressing
1 large clove of garlic crushed
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cook pasta al dente according to package directions. Rinse under cold water and transfer to a large bowl.
Add the cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, Kalamata olives, red onion, and feta cheese.
Combine garlic, oregano, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small jar. Slowly whisk in the extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. If using a mason jar, you can simply put the lid on and shake the jar until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss well. Chill for 2-3 hours before serving and enjoy!
NOTES
This salad is lightly dressed. If you like extra dressing on your pasta salad, feel free to 1.5x the dressing.
Store the leftover salad in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for about 4 to 5 days. Before serving again, give it a good stir and taste + season again as needed. This salad is best served chilled.

PASTA with CHICKPEAS is Better than Meat Sauce Pasta when Cooked this Way (Pasta e Ceci)
This one-pot Pasta with Chickpeas dish is one of my favorites. This style of dish is perfect for a simple but delicious meal and can be incredibly versatile, as you can choose from many pasta, vegetable, protein, and sauce combinations. It’s also the right way to make a one-pot dish so I’m excited to share it with you.
In my recipe, the pasta comes together with a creamy chickpea and tomato sauce, mixed with herbs that provide a unique aroma and a few hidden vegetables too. The chickpeas are the star of the show as they are full of protein and flavor.

TRANSCRIPT
Most traditional recipes for making pasta tell you to start out with lots and lots of water and heat it up to the boil before you add the pasta. Turns out that you don't need to do that. You can save a lot of time, a lot of water, a lot of energy by starting out with cold water and a frying pan. Put the pasta in the frying pan. Pour a quart and a half or so of water on top of the pasta. Turn on the heat and, because the pasta is cold, the pasta won't stick to itself at the very beginning. When it's done you have pasta that's perfectly cooked and you have a thickened liquid that you can use to make all kinds of sauces.
