Ingredients:

  • 16 oz bowtie (farfalle) pasta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced fine
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
  2. Add the bowtie pasta and cook for 1 minute less than the package directions.
  3. Drain the pasta into a colander and immediately rinse with cold water until the noodles are cool to the touch.
  4. Toss the cooled pasta with 1 tbsp of olive oil to ensure they remain individual pieces.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar.
  6. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and the cheese is fully incorporated.
  7. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, whisking until the dressing looks glossy and uniform.
  8. In an extra-large mixing bowl, combine the oiled pasta, peas, red bell pepper, and red onion.
  9. Pour the creamy dressing over the mixture and gently fold together with a silicone spatula until every piece of pasta is coated.
  10. Fold in the fresh parsley.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
