Servings: 8 Cups
Calories: 463kcal
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Dried pasta I used rotini for this recipe but any short pasta will do!
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- ½ cup Italian Dressing I prefer to use Kraft Zesty Italian but you can use whatever you have on hand.
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- 1 cup Cauliflower cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 cup Broccoli cut into bite sized pieces
- ½ cup Red pepper cut into bite sized pieces
- ½ cup Yellow pepper cut into bite sized pieces
- ½ cup Black olives sliced
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half
Instructions
Cook the pasta:
- Pour 4 cups of water into the Ninja Foodi
- Pour in 1 pound of dried pasta- do not stir. Instead, "push" the pasta down so that it is covered with the water as much as possible
- Close the lid and move valve to "seal" position
- Pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. As a rule of thumb, you should cook the pasta based on this calculation: Look at the box, take the recommended time and cut it half and then subtract 2. For example, if the suggested cook time is 10 minutes, cut that in half to 5 and then subtract 2. This will leave you with 3. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Once timer beeps, quick release pressure and remove lid
- Rinse pasta and let cool
Prepare the pasta salad:
- Cut vegetables into bite sized pieces
- Once the pasta has cooled, sprinkle salt and pepper into pasta
- Combine all ingredients- pasta, vegetables, mayonnaise and Italian dressing- stir well
- Refrigerate until you are ready to eat!
