[Bloo]

Theres this pasta dish I tried at my old school cafeteria but I dont go to that school and my family doesnt eat pasta nor are my friends into Italian foods. I remember the ingredients and how it tasted like and how it looked EXCEPT I cant figuire out the receipe..I mean when I google it,SO MANY PAsta receipes come up

I was wondering if anybody can help me what this pasta is really called and how you can make this Dish because I really wana eat this again....THANKS for the help

I dont cook so Im lost here



Pasta looks like this :




Main Ingredients used:

Peeled carrots, in small little strips
Sliced green peppers
Some red peppers diced
Olive oil?? Some kind of Oil is used..
NO SAUCE is added
A little bit of spice..but too strong not too little either


Taste: A little bitterish spicey and sweet?

is it a hot or cold pasta?

What about an italian dressing?

[Litesandsirens911]

is it a salad or is it a pasta dinner type thing? Looks like colorful rotini pasta salad to me.one second, I will look...

[Bloo]

Its cold pasta and no dressing was used...it seemed more oily to me

maybe its a sald? it was being served as lunch in the cafe

[Sally888]

italian can be oily, depends what brand you get. Could be an oil/vinegar mix with some spice as well.

[Sally888]

Quite honestly its probably delivered in a huge 5 gallon bucket. Have you tried the cold pasta section at stores like Zehrs?

[Bloo]

Nope I havent. But I am guessing its probably those dressing weird oily dressing by kaft? called signiture dressings?

[Litesandsirens911]

Could be that too, especially since Kraftfoods are providers to large corporate cafeterias and also suppliers to school cafeterias for stuff like that. It could be a greek dressing (the oily kind Kraft makes) could also be something like sundried tomato vinaigrette...

[Sally888]

Lol wait till they go on sale and buy them all then try them hehehehhee

[Litesandsirens911]

they are on sale this week for the 250ml Kraft dressings for 1.29 at WM!!LOL

[Bloo]

and how would I make tis

[Sally888]

Just cook the pasta (and rinse in luke warm water) , slice and dice your veggies then stir in whatever dressing it was that you liked and voila

refridgerate after.

The pasta is rotini and looks like a basic pasta salad. I know that you can find a powdered pasta salad mix along side the gravy mixes, etc. I cannot remember the brand (sorry!) but the package is blue and all you add is oil (usually canola or vegetable) and vinegar. That might satisfy your cravings. I have made it in the past and added whatever veggies I have on hand...carrots, cucumbers, asparagus, artichoke hearts, olives, peppers. etc.

ohh ok makes sense, I dont cook, I am too urmm not so sharp at figuring this out
and I would mix the dressing in the end after putting it in the fridge? or when its hot

[Litesandsirens911]

mixing the dressing when the pasta is warm is easier (not when hot) BUT!! remember not to add oil or butter to the pasta water when it is cooking, or your dressing will not stick to the starch in the pasta once it starts to cool...
