Vegan Pasta Salad

This Vegan Pasta Salad features perfectly cooked pasta tossed in a creamy, smoky romesco-inspired sauce and topped with a herby bread crumb topping. The sauce is bold and packed with flavor, while the toppings add freshness and zest. The recipe is customizable and can be turned into a main meal by adding extra protein or mix-ins. Tips included for making the best pasta salad, including seasoning the pasta water generously, cooking the pasta longer for a softer texture, saving pasta water for sauciness, and serving suggestions for pairing with other dishes.
