Mom's Pasta Salad Recipe

Friday (6/29) was Ashley's birthday!  Yay!!  She's older!!  Not as old as some of the rest of us (>.<) but she's moved up a year. 

And to celebrate a group of us are getting together for a potluck style bbq to stuff our faces, fill our livers with booze and make a night of it with good friends! 

With little in my kitchen and even fewer cooking skills, I offered to make/bring a pasta salad!  Boil water, chop up some stuff, mix it together.  Done!   

And that's all it took.  Quick and simple.   But the best part was I made one of my mom's recipes and it's one of my favorites!!

I don't know the name of it.  I'm not sure if it even has a name.  So I shall call it Mom's Slaw Spaghetti Salad.

It's delicious, you should try it, here's how to make it!

 

- Assemble the ingredients

**the wine was for me to drink while I cooked, not for the recipe ^^

- Put the pasta (1lb) in a pot to boil

- Dice the green pepper and onion

**My mom uses Merzetti Slaw Dressing, I couldn't find that here, but I'd recommend going with it!!

- Add salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese to taste.  

Eat!  Enjoy!! and hopefully you made less of a mess than I did when you were cooking!  :-/
