Bow-Tie Pasta Salad

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package bow-tie pasta (farfalle)
• 1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli florets
• 1 (10 ounce) basket cherry or grape tomatoes
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced
• 1/2 cup chopped celery

• 2 cups creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.
2. Quickly rinse the cooked pasta in cold water to stop it from continuing to cook; drain.
3. Mix the cooled pasta, broccoli, tomatoes, sliced green onions, celery, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in a large bowl.
4. Gently stir the salad dressing, Parmesan cheese, sugar, basil, and salt in a bowl until evenly mixed.
5. Pour the salad dressing mixture over the pasta mixture; gently toss to coat evenly.
6. Refrigerate 3 hours to overnight before serving.
