Stand Out Sides: Mediterranean Pasta Salad + Giveaway
I am thrilled to be participating in Hodgson's Mill's Recipe Contest! Hodgson Mill is well-known for their healthy products so I thought it was a perfect match that I enter their contest. They were kind enough to send us 6 boxes of pasta to play with; needless to say, John and I had a great time! In fact, such a great time that I will be featuring a second dish with their pasta on Monday.
I am in love with this pasta. It combines the BEST whole wheat pasta, from Hodgson's Mills of course, with some of my favorite summer vegetables. Eggplants and tomatoes are two things that I love about summer; they just taste of summer to me, and I love that all the vegetables in here can be made on the grill.
There is nothing worse in the summer than heating up the oven, that's for sure! I don't know how its possible but for the tiny, tiny space our apartment is, it heats up FAST. We can have all the windows open (we're lucky, we have a whole wall of windows), but the heat is only going in one direction - towards me! One way to beat the heat is to make the delicious pasta salad. Refreshing and delicious it just DRIPS summer!
Hodgson's Mills has been kind enough to sponsor a giveaway to coincide with our recipe contest!
THE PRIZE: $25 worth of Hodgson's Mills goodies! They will be sent directly from Hodgson's Mills to your door (US only please)
To enter: You must be a GFC follower of The Growing Foodie and write a comment about your favorite pasta recipe that can be transformed by 100% Hodgson's Mills whole wheat pasta. For an extra entry, you can follow me on Pinterest and comment below; for a third entry, you can follow Hodgson's Mills on Pinterest, and come back to comment below (and while you're there, throw a like and repin my way please)!
Timing: All comments must be posted by Friday, June 29th. I will announce the winner over the weekend.
Mediterranean Pasta Salad
Serves: 6-8
1 box of Hodgson's Mill Medium Shell Pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 green peppers
1 onion
2 eggplants
2 tomatoes, diced
4 ounces herbed goat cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta, toss with olive oil, and set in the refrigerator. Halve the peppers and thickly slice the onion and eggplants. Grill the vegetables on a grill over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, pulling each vegetable off as they are soft and slightly charred. Roughly dice the vegetables, toss with tomato. Mix the vegetables with chilled pasta, goat cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until goat cheese coats the vegetables. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator
