Pasta Salad

My friend Mrs S used to make this and I got the recipe from her.  I ♥ the simplicity and tastiness of this recipe.  It is great to take to a barbecue and is simply delicious.

Pasta Salad


Ingredients:
  • 250 grams Pasta (OR gluten free pasta)
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 Cup ready made garlic pasta sauce (I use Stomboli Pasta Sauce)
  • 1 Tablespoon vinegar 
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of oregano

Optional
  • 2 spring onions
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup cubed cucumber
  • 310 gram can of whole corn drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

Method
  • Cook the pasta
  • In a bowl mix the remaining ingredients.
  • Add in your choice of optional ingredients.
  • Drain the pasta and add warm pasta to the sauce.
  • Chill and serve.

This salad tastes better if made the day before and allowed to mature.   I have made the sauce the night before and left it in the fridge to mature as a different option.
