How to Prepare Cacio e Pepe Summer Pasta Salad [Vegan]

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water (use 1 teaspoon of salt for each quart of water) to a boil over high heat.

Drain into a colander and rinse the pasta with cold water until room temperature.

  3. Toss to combine and coat the pasta evenly, then add the tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, basil, and roasted garlic olive oil and continue tossing until evenly combined.
  4. Taste for salt, pepper, and cheese, and adjust as needed.
  5. Serve room temperature or chilled, and enjoy!
