ingredients
- 3 large red onions
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup sun-dried tomato (cut into pieces)
- 1 cup pine nuts
- 2 zucchini (large)
- fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- salt and pepper
- 12 ounces rigatoni pasta
directions
- Cook pasta and cool; set aside.
- Sauté chopped onions until tender and lightly browned.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté together.
- Add zucchini, salt and pepper and cook all together until zucchini is tender. Add additional oil if necessary. Add pine nuts.
- Mix together with pasta. When well mixed add Dijon mustard and stir well. Add fresh basil leaves, or add as garnish.
- Chill for 1 hour minimum.
- Add cheese and serve (I have used mozzarella mostly, but other soft cheeses that can be easily cubed or cut into nice sized pieces also works).
- *You can substitute the cheese with chicken pieces, or with another vegetable if you're a vegetarian, or need a lactose-free salad.
