Instructions

  1. Begin by cooking the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions. Aim for al dente. When cooked immediately submerge into an ice bath, drain and set aside.

    Combine all the dressing agreements and set aside. The dressing is even better if made ahead of time.

    Enjoy!
