I am attending a covered dish tomorrow and need a few ideas of food to prepare. (I understand that the food should be edible. ;-)) I won't have much time to prepare it, so if your idea is not simple, hold it for later. I don't need specific directions or cooking instructions, just some ideas. I can wing it from there. Thanks!!!

Oh, SJ, hope it's not too late. This would be great since you have a garden. Sometimes I add shrimp or chicken.
This is too wonderful to believe, a real flavor-fest!
3 tablespoons olive oil, preferably garlic-infused
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh mixed herbs (such as basil and parsley)
3 medium home-grown tomatoes, chopped
1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 cups mozzarella, finely grated
Optional: 1/2 cup black olives, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 package of fresh pasta
Combine olive oil, vinegar, and herbs in a large bowl. Then add all ingredients except pasta, and let this sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Cook pasta, and toss with sauce.

The pasta recipe looks amazing. Do you serve it cold or hot? Shaped pasta or straight? Sorry, I don't cook much. I need all the information I can get!

I need all the information I can get!Room temperature (after the pasta is cooked and mixed with the other ingredients and sits on the counter for 30 minutes) and cold (on the rare occasions that we have leftovers).
OOPS: I didn't say that right. Dyslexia is setting in. I let the ingredients sit 30 minutes, add the hot pasta, then serve.
I like it best with a shaped pasta because it mixes easier.
