Notes
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water. While the pasta is boiling is the only time you have to season the pasta, so don't skip this step.
- For the perfect texture of your pasta, make sure that you follow the package directions and cook it until it is just al dente. Each brand has different cooking times so make sure to check your brand.
- I don't recommend adding hot pasta to your dressing, so make sure that you allow the cooked pasta to cool to room temperature before you combine the pasta dressing.
- I like to use a sweet onion, however, if you don't have one you can use a yellow onion or white onion instead.
