News flash: Room-temperature pasta might be even better than the hot stuff. Here bite-size broken lasagna noodles and pleasantly bitter radicchio make up the base for a main-course-worthy pasta salad—both with plenty of wavy bits and leafy ridges for the bright, herbaceous dressing to cling to. Buttery Castelvetrano olives and crunchy toasted almonds provide the texture, and nutritional yeast gives just enough cheesy oomph to balance everything out.
