This is one of my favorite vegan pasta salads – I make it all of the time! You can add any vegetables you want, non-GMO Hodgson Mill whole wheat spiral pasta and this amazing homemade Italian dressing recipe. So good! Since this recipe is served cold, it is the perfect back to school lunchbox lunch. Eben loves it – so you know it is delicious!
Want to try it for yourself? Hodgson Mill is giving one of my readers a $25 pasta pack, just in time for those back to school lunches. Just leave a comment telling me what you will whip up with your pasta pack below the recipe and good eating!

I would probably make vegan mac and cheese and vegan pasta salad!
Pasta salad or this recipe, or a pasta bake!

I’d make something that looks like your yummy pasta salad with all the veggies…only with olive oil, onion, garlic served warm.
We haven’t had our seafood/tomato/basil pasta in quite a while… hmmmmm… I think I know what’s for dinner one night soon!
My apologies if this post shows up twice. I would make a pasta salad for my son to take in his lunch to school. 🙂
I would make mac n cheese with bread crumbs on top. My go to comfort food recipe.
It depends on what type of pasta – with linguine or spaghetti I would make chicken piccata. With spirals or bowties, probably mac n cheese or a carbonara dish. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would make a delicious eggplant parmesan.
I would probably mix the pasta with homemade pesto from all the basil we’ve had this summer from our CSA and the garden. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d make a caprese pasta salad with cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil.
I’d make my Mediterranean pasta salad with olives, pesto, tomatoes, pine nuts, and feta cheese.
I’d make Spaghetti casserole or something somewhat similar.
