I made up this recipe while trying to figure out a summer pasta salad to go with our kabobs that we were grilling. I threw in a little of this and a little of that and the family went nuts! To make this healthier, use fat-free mayonnaise and wheat pasta.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package bow-tie pasta
- 1 pound ham chunks
- 20 grape tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup diced yellow bell pepper
- ½ cup diced red bell pepper
- ½ cup diced orange bell pepper
- 6 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups mayonnaise
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ cup shredded Romano cheese
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.
Step 2
Toss ham chunks, tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, green onions, garlic, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl.
Step 3
Stir drained bow-tie pasta and mayonnaise into the ham mixture.
Step 4
Sprinkle cilantro and Romano cheese over the pasta mixture; stir to combine.
Step 5
Chill at least 1 hour before serving.
