Smoked Mozzarella Pasta Salad

Step 1

Add penne pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, and 3 cups of water to the Ninja Speedi cooking pot. Make sure most of the pasta is submerged in the water.

Step 2

Put the crisping tray in the upper position and place the halved red pepper on the tray.

Step 3

Cook on SPEEDI MEALS at 360° for 10 minutes. The unit will steam for about 7 minutes before switching to air fry.

Step 4

When the unit shuts off, remove the bell pepper and crisping tray. Stir the pasta and tomatoes. Let the pasta cool a little while you prepare the dressing and peel the pepper.

Step 5

To make the dressing, mix all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.

Step 6

Once the pepper has cooled a little, peel the charred skin off and chop the pepper into 1/2" pieces.

Step 7

Add the spinach, cubed smoked mozzarella, torn basil, and dressing to the pasta. Stir well to combine. Chill for about 30 minutes or serve immediately.
