Question

Just bought the rotini packets. Any tricks to making it great? Suggestions?  

Answer 1

I overcook it and then add veggies to it with Walden farms Italian dressing and some ACV and let it sit overnight. Yummy!

@lagniappe8850 I thought I might need to overcook. how long do you suggest I cook in total?

I do the same and change veggies from time to time

You're just going to have to play with it and see what kind of texture you like. I think I just do a few minutes over.  

Answer 2

Add just a pinch of salt when cooking

Answer 3

I love to add lean ground beef, tomatoes, and green beans and make a soup.  

Answer 4

I make a pasta Greek salad, minus the feta ofc. So good

Answer 5

I made homemade chicken noodle soup with it.  

Answer 6

I make a cucumber salad (cucumber, tomato and onion with dressing of water, vinegar, and oil) and toss in the pasta

Answer 7

I add it to tuna salad with a chopped boiled egg.  

Answer 8

I learned that soaking the noodles (especially for cold recipes) is better. Soak for roughly 20-30 minutes.

@secco7036 you're welcome!  

Answer 9

I make pasta salad a few days in advance and let it sit. I use Walden farms Italian dressing, roasted zucchini, steamed broccoli, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, colorful bell peppers and seedless cucumbers . it’s amazing a few days later. It soaks up all the flavor of the dressing
