One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility. You can serve this dish warm or as a chilled pasta salad. You can also add or change many of the ingredients, perhaps tossing in some olives or avocado. You could add a protein such as grilled chicken. You could even swap out the bowtie pasta for a different shape or replace the pasta entirely with rice, quinoa, or even spaghetti squash. We hope you will give this Farm Fare a try in your kitchen this summer!

    Woukd add more tomatoes, fresh spinach leaves and maybe onion . When I tasted this I felt it was sour. Looking at ingredients, I am not sure where the sour taste was coming from. But I think more tomatoes and fresh spinach leaves slightly cooked would give more taste and better appearance with red and green.
