A new year, so time for a new blog. Hello to you all, I am hoping to use this new blog to share some of my favourite recipes and bakes. Although this blog we predominately showcase my bakes, I am going to start it off with a savoury recipe. This makes a great side dish at a barbecue or is a lovely warming winter lunch. This recipe is especially for my Mum, as she keeps asking me for it. So here you go Mum......!
Sarah's Scrummy Pasta Salad
Ingredients
200g Feta Cheese, cubed
250g (half a bag) Seeds of Change Trottole Pasta
Frozen Petit Pois (as many as you like)
Spinach or Watercress & Rocket (as much as you like)
230g (approx) Green olives
Fresh Mint, the amount I feel here is definitely a personal preference
1 Lemon, zested & juiced
Olive Oil
1. Bring a pan of water as salty as the Mediterranean (as Nigella would say) to the boil, add a few sprigs of mint and your pasta, cook following the pack instructions. I must insist on you using the specified Seeds of Change pasta, otherwise the salad just isn't as good.
2. When your pasta is almost ready add the petit pois to the pan.
3. When cooked drain thoroughly, remove the mint, and return to the pan.
4. Add the feta cheese, green olives, spinach or watercress and rocket, finely chopped mint, lemon zest & juice, olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Stir thoroughly and serve immediately...........yum!
Enjoy....feel free to leave me your comments :)
