Ingredients
50 g of whole wheat pasta (brown pasta)
1 medium potato
1 carrot
1 head of garlic
1 small onion or 2 shallots
1 small head of bok choy
1/4 head of broccoli
1 handful of spinach
1 big tomato
1 handful of lettuce leaves
1 handful of pitted and sliced black olives
1 tablespoon of ground flex seeds and chia seeds (substitute to bottled oil)
1 teaspoon of sesame seeds
1 teaspoon of nutritional yeast in flakes (substitute to cheese)
1 fistful of fresh basil leaves (chopped roughly, or finely cut, as you like them)
Method
- Put a small pot of water for boiling.
- Peel the potatoes and chop them into small chunks. Do the same for the carrot. Peel the raw garlic. Peel and chop the onion(s) roughly.
- When the water boils, put in the pasta together with the ingredients prepared above: potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic. Let boil according to the pasta cooking time (see package) and keep stirred.
- While pasta and the other ingredients are cooking, start preparing the following two batches of ingredients:
- Batch A
(that you will blench for one minute in boiling water right before taking out the pasta):
bok choy – cut it finely, including the stem
broccoli – chop it rougly and cut finely the hard stem
spinach leaves – cut them finely
- Batch B
(that you will add raw onto your pasta salad):
tomato – cut it into small chunks
lettuce leaves – cut them very finely
- One minute before the pasta is ready, pour into the pot all the ingredients of which at “Batch A” and let them boil with the pasta for just one minute. When the pasta is cooked, drain everything out on a big colander.
- Pour the pasta with all the other cooked ingredients back into the empty pot.
Add the raw ingredients (Batch B) and stir nicely.
- When serving, for decoration and flavour, add on each plate the sliced olives, ground chia and flax seeds, sesame seeds, basil leaves, and the nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
- Mix well….and enjoy!
