PENNE PASTA SALAD WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND FRESH BASIL
Celebrate the late summer harvest of red peppers with this simple and light pasta salad. You can easily substitute roasted peppers from a jar. This recipe is from an obscure little cookbook with fabulous recipes called "Canada Cooks Pasta". I have a propensity for lemon and increase the amount of zest and juice. As a matter of fact, I increase the feta and basil as well! This is a great brunch, pot luck or buffet salad! Note: Whether you use fresh peppers or jarred, ensure you dry them thoroughly...you really don't want a pink salad!
