Directions:Serves: 8 Preparation Time: 45 minutes
Combine mustard, vinegar, oil, pepper, salt and garlic. Shake well and set aside for 15 minutes. Note: If you wish to save time, use an 8 ounce bottle of Ken's balsamic and basil vinaigrette and add salt and pepper to taste. It makes a satisfactory substitute. Cook pasta according to package directions, including salt. Be sure to cook the pasta al dente. Drain and rinse with water. In a large bowl, combine pasta and remaining ingredients with the exception of the spinach and tomatoes. Add the dressing and toss gently. Add the spinach and tomatoes just before serving. |
