Cavender’s Pasta

imgres-2

Pasta is such an easy thing for us busy southern women to throw together; however, Cavender’s pasta offers a lighter palette of flavors which can be enjoyed while hot or cold. It’s also great because you can always add in other things to it. For instance, if you don’t care for black olives but love artichoke hearts- then throw those in!!

What will you need?

Angel Hair Pasta OR Orzo

Cherry Tomatoes

Black Olives (sliced)

Spring Green Onions

1/4 Vegetable Oil

4 tbls Lemon Juice (about 2 large lemons)

4 LARGE tbls of Mayo

4 tbls Cavenders Seasoning

Here we go!

1. Go ahead and start cooking either your pasta or orzo

2. Chop up your black olives, artichoke hearts, spring onions and whatever else you’re adding

3. In a bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, lemon juice, cavender’s seasoning and mayo

4. Add items of choice from Step 2 to pasta

5. Pour mixture over pasta and stir it up!

Now that was easy! This pasta is great for a hot summer afternoon served cold or a cool summer evening heated up.

Special thanks to my mother who has made this recipe for years!
