Instructions
- Cook past according to box instructions. Rinse with cold water and then let cool. Complete steps 2-4 while the pasta cooks.
- Heat a small pan to medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of water. Add diced broccoli to the pan and cover. Steam for 5-7 minutes or until soft. Let the broccoli cool before adding it into the salad.
- Dice tomatoes and chop kale and avocado. Cut each basil leaf into small strips.
- Use the same sauce pan, make the pesto sauce. This recipe uses Knorr’s Pesto Seasoning packet. It takes about 3 minutes to make and has incredible flavor.
- Add cooked pasta to a large serving bowl. Then, add broccoli, tomatoes, and kale. Toss.
- Add in basil, avocado, and cheese. Fold everything together.
- Pour pesto sauce over the salad. Toss noodles and vegetables well to make sure they're coated.
- Add additional toppings if desired like thin slices of avocado, freshly shaved parmesan, cracked pepper, and/or more veggies.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- This Feta Pesto Pasta Salad is mean't to be served cold, although delicious warm when the feta gets all melty!
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you are making this for meal prep, I recommend keeping the pesto sauce separate from the pasta salad. The noodles will absorb a lot of the sauce and can become dry, especially if you’re eating it a few days later.
- Cooking the pasta to a perfect al dente is best.
