Bow-Tie Pasta Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package bow-tie pasta (farfalle)
1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli florets
1 (10 ounce) basket cherry or grape tomatoes
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cups creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip(R))
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.
Quickly rinse the cooked pasta in cold water to stop it from continuing to cook; drain.
Mix the cooled pasta, broccoli, tomatoes, sliced green onions, celery, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in a large bowl.
Gently stir the salad dressing, Parmesan cheese, sugar, basil, and salt in a bowl until evenly mixed.
Pour the salad dressing mixture over the pasta mixture; gently toss to coat evenly.
Refrigerate 3 hours to overnight before serving.
