prep time:: 20 min
total time:: 20 min

Serves 6-8

This is the perfect pasta for any family. It can be customized for each person so everyone is happy. Also it is good warm or cold the next day for a picnic or lunch box.

ingredients

1 lb. Penne pasta (or your favorite)
5 oz. Chevre cheese
Any of the following:
Steamed asparagus chopped into 2 inch pieces
Sliced green or black olives
Chopped roasted red peppers in 1/2 inch pieces
Chopped sun-dried tomatoes in 1/2 inch pieces
Halved cherry tomatoes
Lightly steamed broccoli

directions

1
Boil 6 cups of water and cook pasta according to directions until al dente. Drain pasta (do not rinse - you don’t want to cool the pasta at all).
2
While pasta is cooking prep the ingredients you have chosen. These can be placed in individual bowls on the table if you want everyone to customize their pasta.
3
After the pasta is drained pour into a large bowl and immediately chop chunks of chevre into the pasta and mix. The chevre will melt and coat all of the pasta.
4
Either mix in all ingredients or bring the pasta to the table and everyone can select the things they like to put into their bowl.
