Pasta salads are absolutely great to prepare in a box, and I have a great recipe for you based on roasted peppers. Combined with feta cheese and fresh herbs, it's the perfect summer dish to have just as it is or as a side dish with grilled meat, for example. For vegetarians and vegans alike, a chickpea pasta version supplemented with delicatessen yeast is a great alternative.

Tips and tricks
○ For more protein , you can add roasted chicken to your salad. You can also replace the classic pasta with chickpea or red lentil pasta and sprinkle it with extra deli yeast.
○ Otherwise, you can also use the roasted peppers to make a quick Romesco sauce to keep in the fridge for other dishes. Just blend the roasted peppers with some almonds, oil, garlic, chilli and smoked paprika.
