Easy recipe but really worth it! When I was young my mom would make this and I would cut my "dates" short to come home to eat this. I am addicted! The longer it marinates the better it is! Get ready to hand this recipe out a lot! Super summer salad but it goes with any kind of protein.

yield 15 , but just hope there is some left over to take home!

How To Make mostaccioli pasta

  • 1
    Cook 16 oz of pasta in salted water with .5oz of yellow food coloring (trust me on this). Not musshy, drain, rinse in cold water, coat in vegetable oil.
  • 2
    In a blender: add cider vinegar, white vinegar, sugar, pepper, salt, garlic powder, Accent, parsley, onion and cucumber.
  • 3
    Blend for 2 minutes or until mixture is emulsified.
  • 4
    Poor over cooked pasta, stir, refrigerate, and let marinate for at least 24 hours stirring occasionally. The longer it marinates the better. It may seem initially like there is too much liquid but the pasta will soak it up.
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
