Fantastic as a cold dish for our hot days in Singapore! Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) bag penne pasta |
4 carrots, shredded |
1 cup semi sun-dried tomato, sliced |
10 pieces garlic, finely sliced (in food processor) |
1 cup fresh sweet basil (torn into large pieces) |
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Cook the penne till al dente. Drain, coat with a little olive oil in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add shredded carrots, tomatoes and olive oil and mix well.
3. Sliced garlic to be sautéed in olive oil in low heat till garlic is soft but not brown.
4. Add the sautéed garlic into the mixing bowl and mix well.
5. Add salt to taste and finally add lots of fresh basil. Mix together.
6. Serve cool.
7. Important note: Do not wash pasta in cold water. It is a very unnatural thing for the pasta and will alter the texture of it. Always drain and add a little olive oil to 'loosen' it.
8. Never, never, never rinse pasta in tap water!
