Cool Cucumber Pasta Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 ounces pasta (tube or shell)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced (I usually use more!)

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup water
3/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Cook pasta according to package directions.
Drain & rinse pasta with cold water.
Place pasta in large bowl.
Add oil, cucumbers, onions, & tomatoes to bowl.
Mix remaining ingredients & pour over pasta & veggies & toss.
Cover & chill for 3-4 hours (I've served it with as little as an hour of chill time).
Stir before serving & enjoy!
