DS Da Dhaba: Pasta Salad with Tomato Sauce

As result of last evening's research and permutation/combination of pasta compatible spices and vegetables, I came up with this salad. My hubby, despite being a cold food (salad) hater, answered yes to my question, 'Would you like to eat it again?' (That's my way of confirming with him if he liked my experiment).

Ingredients I used:

Onion finely chopped
Tomato, both chopped and grated
Broccoli, cut into small florets
Sweet corn kernel
Capsicum finely chopped
Spinach finely chopped
Dried basil
Oregano
Red chili flakes
Pasta
Olive Oil
Tomato sauce
Vinegar
Salt to taste

(You can also add baby corn and olives)


Directions:

1. Boil pasta and keep aside (add pasta in boiling water, add salt, cook for 10 mins, sieve with cold water).
2. Heat a little oil(1 tbl spoon) and fry a little chopped onion and broccoli. Once the onions turn light brown, add grated tomato and chopped spinach. Add some salt and cook for 2-3 mins. Let this whole mixture cool down.
3. In pasta add a little olive oil, vinegar, tomato sauce(for adding slight sweetness), chopped onions, tomatoes, capsicum and corn kernel. Mix well.
4. Add the mixture that you prepared to the pasta. Add oregano, basil and red chili flakes. Mix well.
5. Refrigerate until it become a little cold.

Picture of the output will be uploaded when I make it next time :)
