You know how much I love a pasta salad recipe! In the past, I’ve posted several here on IBC. Since I’ve covered the classics, I’m now branching out to new varieties.
This Pasta Salad with Roasted Mushrooms is an example of my experimentation with new flavors and ingredients!
Pasta Salad with Roasted Mushrooms:
A couple weeks ago, I found some colorful pasta at HomeGoods. It reminded me of the Fall Harvest Pasta Salad I made a few years ago.
Inspired by the color, I thought another autumnal pasta salad was in order. However, after putting this salad together, I realized it could be served and enjoyed during any season.
How to Make Pasta Salad with Roasted Mushrooms:
To prepare this recipe, first roast the mushrooms and tomatoes. You can use any mushrooms you’d like. I went with a mix of mini portobello, white, and crimini. Warning: Roasting the mushrooms and tomatoes will make your kitchen smell heavenly.

While everything is roasting, cook the pasta and prepare the rest of the ingredients. You can use whatever pasta you like best.
When your pasta and roast mushrooms are cool, everything gets quickly tossed together in a bowl with a simple dressing of olive oil, white wine vinegar, and sugar for a touch of sweetness.
The dressing may not sound like much, but with all the flavors happening here, it’s the perfect complement. Also add salt and pepper to taste.
