Perfect For A Potluck: Pasta Salad with Grilled Vegetables

cookpad.japan
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp

A dish for a potluck should be something that is easy to carry and still good when cold. It's even better if it stands out among other dishes. Plus, it should be something that is easy to share as well, especially if people are going to be standing around.

It'll look nicer if you cut the vegetables into the same size as the pasta. The vegetables shrink a little when you roast them, while the pasta expands after boiling. Add a good amount of salt when you boil the pasta. The herb doesn't need to be rosemary. You can use basil, thyme or whatever you like. If you are using basil, add the chopped basil in at the end.
