HOW TO MAKE PASTA SALAD: TOP EASY TIPS FOR PASTA SALAD

From today.com
Author Aly Walansky
Published 2021-07-09
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
  • Pasta needs to be seasoned from the beginning. Salting pasta water is essential. Though experts disagree on exactly how much salt should be used, most pasta enthusiasts say this step is necessary regardless of what dish you're making.
  • Use the right pasta shape and size. Short pasta shapes work best for cold pasta salads. Just as certain types of pasta lead to better macaroni and cheese, the same can be said for the ideal pasta salad.
  • Never overcook the pasta. It's best to cook your pasta to al dente, or to the tooth. “A little bite to your pasta is what you’re looking for, typically two minutes less than the package instructions,” said Langan.
  • Time out prep. Pasta tends to soak up dressing pretty well, so making it the day of, or even a few hours before, is ideal. “If you need to make it ahead, plan on adding some additional dressing before serving,” Carey Aron, owner of Pastabilities, told TODAY.
  • Make a fresh dressing. Take the time to make a homemade dressing for your fresh pasta salad. Don't go through all the trouble of making a fresh salad and then top it off with a store-bought dressing.
  • Choose fresh, colorful ingredients. Pasta salad may not look like a traditional salad, but it's called a salad for a reason. Fresh herbs and veggies can make a big difference when it comes to pulling everything together.
  • Keep ingredient ratios consistent. Keep pasta salads fresh and exciting with a diverse mix of ingredients. For a satisfyingly beautiful (i.e. totally Instagrammable) pasta salad, plan on a ratio of about one part pasta to one part mix-ins.
