Mediterranean Pasta Salad

Ingredients:

16 oz. Rigatoni (use whole wheat, if you're so inclined)
12 pitted black olives, sliced
1 16 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
1 small red onion, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, minced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Salt & pepper to taste (it won't need much, if any)

Instructions: 


Cook pasta as directed on package, rinse and drain. Add all remaining ingredients. Mix, toss, and serve with a mixed green salad.

Serves 4-6


A lip-smacking dinner you can throw together literally in minutes. 

Fun Factoid: Summer's heat causes the butterfat in the milk used in Parmesan cheese to rise to the top surface of the wheel, making it better for grating. In the winter, butterfat stays deep inside the wheel. Winter cheeses tend to be more uniform and softer, ideal for serving as a table cheeses.
