Oodles of Noodles

Who doesn't like pasta? Anyone? No? Didn't think so.

The question is, how do you like your pasta?
Cold?
Hot?
Creamy?
Herby?
Salty?
Spicy?
Plain?
Cheesy?
Healthy?
White pasta?
Whole Wheat pasta?
Spinach/Vegetable pasta?





The possibilities are quite endless.
Here is one way to make your pasta.
Cold. Herby. Healthy. YUM!



MacaCrazy Salad
This pasta is packed with veggies, flavour and whole lot of zing. Not your traditional, boring mac salad.

3 cups of dry pasta (your choice but spiral, conchiglie, rigatoni are my reccomendations. They hold sauces nicely)
1 Red Pepper
3 small pickles (sliced and diced)
2 sticks Celery (chopped)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 Cucumber
1 avacado, sliced

Dressing:
1 cup Mayo
3 Tbsp Dill Mustard
3 small pickles (sliced and diced)
1/4 cup Ranch Dressing
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1 Tbsp Dill
1/2 Tbsp Parlsey (fresh, chopped)
1 Tbsp Cilantro
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper


Cook pasta with 1 tsp salt and 1 Tbsp of oil.
Chill pasta in fridge.
Chop and dice veggies.
Mix up dressing.
Add pasta with veggies, and dressing.
*suggestion: add choice of favorite cheese, either Parmesan or Asiago.
