Pasta Salad

-

 

I use gluten free pasta for this salad. Stick with a quality brand and everyone will enjoy it. Fresh herbs from the Toadie garden bring this dish to life.


  • 1 cup Penne pasta
  • 1 Tblsp butter
  • ½ tsp tumeric
  • 1 small brown onion - diced
  • ½ red capsicum - finely sliced
  • ½ yellow capsicum - finely sliced
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • Large bunch parsley - finely chopped
  • Fresh Thyme
  • Fresh Marjoram

Boil pasta in salted water and drain.

In a frying pan, melt butter and sauté onions.

Add turmeric

Add capsicums

Add fennel seeds.

Once capsicums are just soft - don't let them break down, 

Add onions and capsicums to the pasta and fold together allowing the butter mix to coat the pasta.

Add all the fresh herbs.

Fold and serve.

Yip, a huge grid of rooms, pencils and erasers were our tools. No on-line booking or recording system. Beds came with a bottom sheet and pillow.  That was it. You could pay extra for linen but hardly anyone did. We didn't carry phones, let alone smart phones back then - OMG I sound old! But this is all only in the past 20 years...
