I am a poor judge of how much spaghetti noodles to fix for two people.

I have a lot left over so I am trying to come up with something.

Years ago I liked pasta salad so I thought I would ask for help.

Does anyone have pasta salad recipes?

Anne,

pasta - conchiglioni tastes the best in this dish
chopped tomatoes, must be flavorful
olive oil
lemon juice + some lemon zest
salt
black pepper
a lot of chopped parsley

Instead of parsley you can use dill or mint or/and scallions.

Probably not the highest quality pasta salad you'll ever eat, but it's good, quick and dead simple:

1) Cool pasta.
2) Stir in Italian dressing.
3) Eat.

My son likes to add mini pepperoni slices and shredded colby-jack cheese. (Substitute any other cheese you think would be better.) If you like olives or tomatoes, they'd probably go well too. Sometimes I think lightly cooked fresh or frozen peas would be good in it.

I use soba noodles but no reason spaghetti would not work for this recipe.
