Mediterranean-inspired pasta salad

MAKES 2 JARS

• 300g Woolworths microwave quick spiral pasta

• 1 large red capsicum, quartered, deseeded

• 1 tbs Woolworths extra virgin olive oil

• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar

• 60g baby rocket leaves

• 80g Woolworths Greek-style feta

• 1 small red onion, roughly chopped

• 125g cherry tomatoes, quartered

• 1 tbs pepitas

OPTIONAL - add 120g cooked lean protein like chicken or pork shredded

Preheat grill to high. Cook pasta according to packet instructions. Set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, place capsicum, skin-side up, on a foil-lined tray and grill for 5 minutes or until skin has blistered and blackened. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Cover and stand for 5 minutes. Peel skin and discard. Thinly slice.

Whisk oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with pepper.

Divide dressing between 2 x 400ml jars. Layer pasta, capsicum and half of the rocket into jars. Roughly crumble in feta, then add onion, tomato, remaining rocket and pepitas. Seal with lids and refrigerate until ready to serve.
