Description

Smooth and Creamy Pasta Delight.

Ingredients
  • Regina Rigatoni
  • mayonnaise
  • ranch dressing
  • lemon juice
  • salt
  • pepper
  • tomatoes
  • red onion
  • spinach
  • chickpeas
Instructions
  1. Stir together the mayonnaise, ranch dressing, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set the dressing aside.

  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until tender (7-8 minutes). Drain the pasta in a colander, rinse it briefly with cool water to cool it down, then let it drain very well.
  3. While the pasta is cooking and draining, prepare the vegetables. Slice the grape tomatoes in half, finely dice the red onion, and roughly chop the spinach.
  4. Once the pasta is cooled and drained, combine it in a large bowl with spinach, tomatoes, onions, and dressing, then top with chickpeas. Stir until everything is evenly coated, let sit for 10-15 minutes to blend flavors, then stir again and serve.
