Cook your favorite bowtie pasta with ease in the microwave with our Microwave Pasta Cooker and top with garden fresh tomatoes, bell peppers, red onions, and a tasty Italian dressing. This recipe is perfect for a quick and healthy lunch option at the office or an easy meal prep weeknight dinner. 

Ingredients

Noodles 

  • 8 ounces bowtie pasta 
  • 1 Tbsp salt 

Toppings 

  • Baby heirloom tomatoes, quartered
  • Diced red onion 
  • Orange bell pepper 
  • Chopped parsley 
  • Parmesan cheese 
  • ¼ cup Italian dressing (store-bought or homemade)
