What type of pasta should I use for pasta salad?
In this recipe, we are using bow tie pasta (farfalle) this is because it looks cool, feels fun, and has nooks and crannies that can help to hold the flavor of the vinaigrette to the noodle. If you want to use a different type of noodle, go right ahead. Just make sure to grab one with lots of nooks and crannies like a curly rotini or even a penne pasta.
