For a light quick meal a pasta salad is always a good bet. It can be highly nutritious and so satisfying at the same time. This recipe can be changed up in many ways...you could use any type of pasta you enjoy...you could choose to use tuna or smoked salmon...or chicken...that is why this dish is so simple...just use what meat or veggie you have on hand and voila!In this salad I used a wild rocket pesto that I bought at the store...but feel free to make your own pesto or buy any kind that you would like...a pasta salad is so versatile and will taste good with just about any sauce.

Hehe I love the title! So many people relate to Idiots Guides. I recall my boss reading an Idiots Guide to the Internet-and she was supposed to be the head of the internet division!
Carol - it was really good! We had it for dinner on Monday and lunch on Tuesday and when I got home Tues night R was asking where it was cuz he was craving for more!
Lorraine - So many people have been asking me for an idiots guide and I keep telling them to try things out and see what they like...but they insist on an actual guide!
