Campenelle Pasta Salad

Campanelle with toasted garlic and sausage

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large garlic cloves - sliced very thin
   coarse salt and pepper
1 pound campanelle pasta
1/2 cup mild sausage cooked almost crispy - drain well!
1 cup fresh flat leaf Italian parsley - chopped coarse
3 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup shaved parmesan

Toast the garlic in a frying pan until golden brown about 2 minutes.  Once toasted place garlic on paper towel and sprinkle with coarse salt.  Cook pasta according to the directions.  Rinse immediately in cold water until pasta is just barely warm.  Add all the other ingredients and season with pepper to taste.  Serve with crusty bread.

This is such a nice light pasta salad.  My family LOVED this!
