Easy Pantry Pasta Salad Recipe #shorts

Even if you haven’t had time to go to the grocery store, you might already have all the ingredients to make this practical pasta salad, which is assembled almost entirely from pantry staples. If you prefer a tomato-based pasta sauce, add three 14 1/2-oz. (455-g) cans of tomatoes to the sauce after adding the oregano, red pepper flakes and drizzle of olive oil. (Chopped, crushed or pureed, any type of canned tomatoes will work, whether plain, fire-roasted or Italian-style). Bring the tomato mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until reduced slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then follow the rest of the recipe as written.
