Pasta a name that comes in every person’s mind when you
are hungry and have short time and you also want something
spicy. Pasta can be cook in different ways and one of the
versions that I am going to talk about in this blog post is pasta
salad. Pasta salad is the ultimate dish that you can make in
short period of time and is very healthy too and you can also
remove your hunger from it. I really like this recipe and also
make and eat this recipe once in a week. You can also make
it for your children and I am sure the will really love it.
Basically it’s a side dish but it can be served as a main dish
as long as you increase the ingredients in making of this
pasta salad.
Yes, pasta salad can be served as the main dish. You just
need to increase the number of ingredients from which you
are making pasta salad so that you can fill your tummy even
with one or two plates of that pasta salad. You can add
potatoes, capsicums and other spicy stuff and healthy
ingredients so your salad looks and tastes delicious and
everyone after tasting your pasta salad demand for more.
Children’s also love spicy things as well as many adults so it’s
a good step to add chilies in it too.
What
main dish goes with the pasta salad?
Well, basically there are many dishes that can be served along
with pasta salad as pasta salad is a side dish. The list of main
dishes is very lengthy so I will try to make it shorter and list at
least five of the main dishes that go perfectly with pasta salad.
So below are the top 5 main dishes that go well with pasta
salad.
- 1.Fired
chicken
So the number one main dish that can be served with your
pasta salad to add more of the spicy flavor is the fried chicken
and this is one my favorites too. I mean what more of a
classic combo of fried chicken and pasta are you looking for?
Just think of this for a second a fried chicken with all the
spices and crispy skin and juicy lemon on it. I mean it’s just a
perfect fire dish combo and I am sure everyone will love it and
you can make it in a family function or a part or for your kids
everyone will love it and there is no denying in that. And that’s
why I have listed this perfect combo on the top of my 5 main
dishes with pasta salad.
- 2.Hamburgers
Again a very good and lovely combination of hamburgers and
pasta salad. I mean these both dishes go very well with each
other and once you start eating it you will demand for more as
this is very addictive combination. As you know pasta salad is
just starch and your body needs some proteins too and
hamburgers have a lot of proteins in them and besides that
they are very delicious easy to eat and very nicely
compliments all the flavors
of pasta.
- 3.Sandwiches
As you know sandwiches are very easy and less time
consuming to make and if you put some healthy mixture of
spicy vegetables prepared in between the bread to make a
prefect sandwich then it will be a great recipe to go with the
pasta salad. You can also make this combo for picnic as
children really eat sandwiches well so it will be good treat at
your
picnic place for your beloved children’s.
- 4.Corn
on the knob or stick
Basically this recipe is a boiled corn with all the spices
sprinkled on it and then a tiny stick is placed below it. You can
use ice cream sticks if you want but make sure to break the
corn in small pieces and then fit it on a stick well. This is also
a very healthy recipe to eat with pasta salad and is also high
in nutrients. So this also another important recipe even if you
are on a diet so yeah that’s it for this recipe.
- 5.Deviled
eggs
This is also another important recipe as far as a health and
vitamin consumption is concerned as these deviled eggs
along with pasta salad will be a very healthy recipe combo to
try out and it’s also very easy to make. You can also use this
recipe combo when you are going for a picnic or even hosting
a family function as this recipe combo goes well in both of
these
situations.
So these were the entire top 5 dishes list that can go with
pasta salad.
What
is a serving size of pasta salad?
If you are making a pasta salad dish that includes plenty of
ingredients than you should use about ½ cup of pasta. As you
know a general 1 pound packet or box of pasta can make
around 8 cups of cooked pasta and you can serve these 8
cups to around sixteen people so keep in mind how many
people
are there for which you are preparing the dish for.
What
should I put in a pasta salad?
Well if you are making a good spicy and healthy pasta salad
then include all types of vegies like potatoes, capsicums and
so on all of them in small concentrations of each one of them
and also include chilies both green and red and also include
mango pickles which is a very good taste enhancer. You can
also add zucchini, cucumbers and all other salad stuff so all of
them make a very attractive and healthy dish.
How
many days is pasta salad good for?
The pasta salad is good for about a week or seven days if
properly stored in the refrigerator. The most easy and proper
method to store the pasta salad in the refrigerator is to use a
large plastic container it should not be too small so you have
to squeeze the pasta salad in. once you have that container
simply put pasta salad in the container and then put in the
refrigerator and it should be good for about 7 days and you
can easily eat it
without any doubt of spoiling.
