Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound fusilli
2 ears corn, husked
1 yellow squash, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks
1 zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks
1 orange bell pepper, cut into 1-inch strips
4 scallions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons store-bought pesto
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and let cool.
  • Brush the corn, yellow squash, zucchini, bell pepper and scallions lightly with oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill the corn, turning frequently, until cooked through and the kernels are charred, about 10 minutes. Grill the zucchini and squash slices, turning once, until charred but not mushy, about 2 minutes per side. Grill the pepper slices until they are charred on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Grill the scallions whole, turning them frequently, until charred and soft, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the pesto, olive oil, lemon juice and zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the yellow squash, zucchini and bell peppers into 1/2-inch pieces and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Cut the kernels off the corn and add them to the zucchini; chop the scallions and add them, too. Add the pasta and grape tomatoes and gently toss until everything is coated with the dressing. Add the parsley, toss and season to taste. Serve at room temperature.

This pasta salad is a great vegetarian dish. It's packed with protein from the beans and cheese, and it's also a good source of fiber.

This pasta salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less honey in the dressing next time.

The dressing for this pasta salad was a bit too oily for my liking. I think I would use less olive oil next time, or maybe substitute some of it with a different type of oil.

This pasta salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, or maybe some additional vegetables. I would try it again with some different ingredients.

This recipe is a great starting point for a veggie pasta salad, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used a different type of pasta (fusilli instead of penne), and I added some chopped fresh herbs (basil and oregano) to the dressing. It turne

I've made this pasta salad several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The roasted vegetables are packed with flavor, and the dressing is light and refreshing. I like to add a bit of extra feta cheese on top for an extra salty kick.
