Rainbows and Butterflies Pasta Salad

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces bow tie pasta, preferably whole grain
  • 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup corn kernels, thawed if frozen
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, thawed if frozen
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce)
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta as the label directs. Drain and toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil to prevent sticking; let cool.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cooled pasta with the corn, edamame, bell pepper and carrots. Drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and toss to coat. Add the parmesan and 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss again and season to taste.
