I was planning to make Avocado Pasta Salad for dinner so I boiled some spaghetti Pasta. On cutting open Avocado I noticed it was still unripe. So plan changed and this recipe happened because I had already boiled the pasta. I wanted to make something mild, non cheesy and more like a salad. I sautéed some bell peppers and threw in some olives and before I could do further I had my pasta ready , well almost. 🙂
This experimental Pasta Salad was soo delicious and mild with minimum Ingredients. Each flavour could be noticed separately on your tongue. Its a must try recipe for people who are watching their weight or even for those who want something mild with a bowl of Soup.
Directions:
1. Thinly slice some red bell peppers. You can use any colour of your choice. All I had was red at that moment. Also roughly chop some Parsley leaves. Also cut a lemon in half and keep ready. Take some pitted Olives and cut them into slices.
2. Boil pasta and run it under cold water. Learn how to boil pasta perfectly.
3. In a wok add some olive oil.
4. Add bell peppers and olives.
5, Add some red chili flakes to add a little flavour to the salad.
6. Continue to saute them till they become little soft but still retain their crispiness.
7. Add boiled pasta and combine with the veggies.
8. Add salt to taste and combine.
9. Add chopped Parsley and turn the flame off.
10. Squeeze juice of Lemon as per your taste.
Serve at room temperature with your Favorite Bowl of Soup.
