COLD PASTA SALAD
1 lb. pasta, cooked & drained
1 cup Italian salad dressing or vinaigrette
1 tablespoon Salad Supreme seasoning
3 tomatoes, chopped
2 cucumbers, chopped
1 1/2 red onions, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped
Combine all above ingredients into a very large bowl and marinate overnight. Put a lid over your bowl. Serve cold.
Soup , or pasta salad.
go fo it sounds great.
yeah just use the stuff u already have on hand..add some onions, carrots and herbs to the pasta..add about 1/3 cup of mayo and Italian salad dressing to it and toss it up. chill in the fridge.
You can use it for any pasta recipe you like. But it's always yummy to just heat it up, put some butter and garlic salt on it.
i like it re heated with oyster and garlic sauce. its scrummy hot or cold. just chop all your veg and add to pasta and cook gently for a few mins. eat hot or cold. will be good!
Just add the cooked pasta to your peppers, onions, tomatoes, chillis and you can then add some cooked ham, cheese. tuna or prawns - bet it's lovely!
Dry it out, and make a pasta picture. When the glue has dried, why not paint it!
If it is spaghetti or a similar shape, I would turn it into a noodle salad. Add a selection of shredded raw vegetables and chilli, then add some soy sauce and oil (sesame oil is great in this), stir well, and put in an air tight tub in the fridge until tomorrow. This actually tastes better if left overnight, as the flavour soaks into the pasta.
Throw it away.
You made too much pasta. Reheated pasta is very nasty, it dries out unless you are a professional cook who has very skilfully undercooked it to begin with, and cold pasta is a dim and depressing thing to eat. Take more care about quantities next time, and you won't have to eat sad and gloopy things like pasta salad.
