Hi Elma, Here's another version of a pasta salad with the ingredients you listed. BLT Pasta From the National Pasta Association Serves 6-8 1 pound Rigatoni, Ziti or other medium pasta shape, uncooked 2 tbsp. vegetable oil 3 cloves garlic, chopped 12 oz. fresh spinach leaves, cleaned and stems discarded 1 cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped 5 to 6 strips (about 4 oz.) lean bacon, cooked and crumbled 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes 18 plum tomatoes, cored, seeded and cut in halves 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until golden, about 1 minute. Add spinach in handfuls, adding more as spinach wilts. Add basil, bacon and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir an additional minute, or until heated through. Combine cooked pasta and spinach mixture in large bowl. Stir in tomatoes and cheese. Serve immediately. Happy Cooking, Betsy recipelink.com
