  • 1 (12 ounce) package bow tie pasta
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground red chile pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 green onions, sliced
