I was once at a simcha and they served a cold pasta salad with sundried tomatoes. Does anyone have a recipe for this?

You can just lightly fry a couple of cloves of garlic (for under a minute - till they are fragrant but not changing colour) and then add it to the pasta with chopped sundried tomatoes, some salt and pepper, maybe some spinach leaves chopped or basil (but not necessary)

I use almost any kind of small piece pasta- macaroni, or those twirly macaroni, or anything else will do - pinwheels, spirals, etc.
Let me know how it comes out!

I just made the pasta with sundried tomatoes and spinach dip - it was sooooo easy and I tasted a little and it was sooooo yummy!!
One more question - do you serve this cold or warm?

I usually serve it cold/room temp. I'm so glad it worked out for you. It's also great bec it looks kind of fancy, what with the spinach and all- little does everyone know that it took roughly 12 min to make!

Nicole-
The pasta salad was delicious, however, I think for the next time I will mix in the spinach dip right before serving. I would cook the pasta and slice the sundried tomatoes before shabbos and then right before I serve it, I will mix everything together. But otherwise I will make it again.
Thanks
