This is just a classic on the Midwestern and East Coast table. I especially love it when throwing a party, because it can easily be made in advance and let you focus on cooking a perfect steak.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Set up a grill for direct medium-high heat by building the coals evenly on the bottom. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta 2 minutes less than the package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sour cream, oregano and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drain the pasta and, while still hot, add to the bowl with dressing. Mix to combine. It will appear loose, but as it sits, the pasta will soak up all that extra dressing. Add the tomatoes, cucumber and onion. Mix to combine. Garnish with the basil and parsley right before serving. Enjoy.
