I love, love sun-dried tomatoes.  I could spend a really long time just eating them by themselves. Combine them with pasta, spinach, pine nuts and cheese… OH BOY!  Happy Mama!! I made this pasta salad for a Christmas party and served it as an appetizer in little individual 2-ounce plastic condiment cups.  My guests enjoyed this as something different.  Next time, I think I’ll choose a smaller sized pasta so it will fit into the cups a little easier.  You could also add other ingredients to this pasta salad like pancetta, olives, artichokes and mushrooms.  Just go crazy!  It’ll be great!
