Dose anyone have an easy recipe for a cold pasta salad thanks

The recipe i used when i ate alot of pasta salad was for a spicy tomato sauce.

1 red onion
Tin of chopped tomatos
3 garlic cloves
Bunch of fresh basil
Crushed chilli flakes
Chicken (optional)
Veg stock half pint

Fry the onion until soft and add the crushed garlic cloves.
(if using the chicken add that aswell and cook until brown).
Pour in the chopped tomatos and stock and chilli flakes ( however spicy u want it).
Reduce down to the desired consistancy and then at the end add the fresh basil.

I love this sauce, however sometimes the chopped tomatos have a sour taste...u can add some sweetener to counter this if you wish...hope this helps
