Quick Fixes - Pasta !!!

    Pasta combined with carrots and greens and seasoned with italian herbs

A healthy dish that can be combined with lot many veggies and herbs.

Ideal for lunch boxes. One can serve it hot or cold, however the taste does not change at all.

Now a days, I have started making cold pasta for my husband's lunch box.

I cook the pasta at night and pour some olive oil on it, so that it doesn't get sticky . Finally keep it in the fridge.

All set for the next day. Just combine with  some fresh veggies, herbs and spice it up according to your taste.

Choice of any pasta variety - I used Rotelle 

Broccoli florets - 1 cup

Grated carrot - 1 cup

Chopped capsicum - 1 cup
