Ingredients for Fody’s Fody’s Vegetarian Pasta Salad
- 1 box gluten free (low-fodmap) bowtie pasta
- 1 cup broccoli crowns, chopped finely
- 2 cups fresh basil, cut into ribbons
- 1 cup kalamata olives
- ½ cup roasted red peppers, diced
- 1 cup fresh curly leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- ½ cup pepperoncini peppers, sliced into rounds & deseeded
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella pearls
For the Dressing
- ¼ cup Fody’s Tomato Basil Sauce
- 2 tbsp Fody’s Balsamic Dressing
- 1 tbsp Fody’s Garlic Infused Olive Oil
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried thyme

Directions for Fody’s Fody’s Vegetarian Pasta Salad
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until just al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining the pasta once cooked. Allow the cooked pasta to come to room temperature.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the dressing by whisking together Fody’s Tomato Basil Sauce, Balsamic Dressing and Garlic Infused Olive Oil. Add the seasonings and whisk again. Set aside.
- Add the cooled pasta to a large serving bowl along with chopped broccoli, fresh basil, parsley, sliced olives, pepperoncini, roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes and mozzarella pearls tossing gently to combine.
- Whisk ¼ cup of the pasta water into the dressing, then pour over the pasta salad, continuing to toss to combine. If you’d like to thin the dressing further, you can add the remaining ¼ cup of the reserved pasta water, tossing again to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve your gut-friendly pasta salad immediately, or chill for 1-2 hours before serving for a colder dish.
