Instructions
- First boil your pasta and then drain it and set it aside. Next, in a small mixing bowl add in all your vinaigrette ingredients and whisk together then set it aside.
- Next, add your shrimp and butternut squash to a baking sheet lined with foil and toss it all around in the olive oil.
- Then sprinkle over the garlic powder, flat leaf parsley and some salt and pepper and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. The butternut squash will take longer about 15 minutes.
- The shrimp will be done around 10 minutes so go ahead and take them off and place them on a plate and set aside. Then, let the butternut squash cook little longer around 15 minutes depending on your oven.
- Next, in a large mixing bowl add in the pasta, arugula and the vinaigrette and toss well to combine.
- Then add in your warm shrimp, butternut squash and pumpkin seeds and mix well to combine.
- Then simply transfer the pasta salad to a large serving bowl and enjoy!
- This pasta salad is so versatile, you could add toasted pint nuts if you didn't have pumpkin seeds and you could also add goat cheese and that would be delicious!
