Fascist Pasta Salad
Jan. 22nd, 2007 05:39 pmA perennial favorite in our home, here's my Fascist Pasta Salad
Two boxes Rotini tri-color pasta, cooked
2 Kielbasa sausages, toasted
*enough garlic to be smelled from your driveway
Italian salad dressing
4 sticks of butter
optional: sliced black olives (best if serving cold)
Cook pasta until al dente, drain off water. In a medium sauce pan, melt four sticks of butter. When melted add half a bottle of italian salad dressing, add garlic and italian seasoning. When combined, place off to the side and go outside to stand in your driveway. If you cannot smell the garlic, go back inside and double the amount, continue until you can smell it outdoors.
Mix sauce into pasta, toss well. Add additional Italian seasoning until pasta appears "dirty". Dice kielbasa, and toss in. Go back outside - can you still smell the garlic? If not, add more.
Serve warm or cold, as desired. Garnish with freshly grated cheese, our preference is a four cheese blend. Serve with fresh-baked focaccia for total carb-whore menu. Great with a moderate chianti (too light won't stand up to the garlic, too heavy and it will overpower the kielbasa).
