\nAs temperatures hover over 100 in most of the USA a cold dish of pasta is a perfect way to have A cool evening meal..or take it to work for a healthy lunch. A cold pasta dish is not just about throwing cold pasta together with anything you find in the fridge.
\nThere are some chef secrets to the art of cold pasta dishes and here they are, making cold pasta dishes is a simple, basic art\u2026.easy to do but you must follow specific rules to have the perfect summer dish\u2026and experience the most flavor.
\n*As with all pasta dishes \u2013hot or cold-always use pasta made of 100% durum semolina wheat cooked to \u2018al dente\u2019
\n*Use one principal ingredient-a meat, or cheese, or tuna or other seafood, then 1 or 2 other secondary ingredients-vegetables make good choices..i.e. tomatoes, peppers,\u00a0 eggplant, peas, zucchini, or even olives. For optimum taste choose veggies that you can find grown locally and in season.
\nThere are so many combinations for any palate and you can mix and match using those rules..Farfalle Primavera, cold pasta with vegetables, fusilli pasta with eggplant and fontina cheese, penne pasta with mackerel, celery and olives and the list continues. But keep it simple, pasta plus 2-3 other ingredients. Of course don\u2019t forget to drizzle with extra virgin, cold pressed olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
\n*My last secret\u2026once pasta is cooked to \u2018al dente\u2019 no need to add ingredients in immediately. best to add in ingredients a half hour before serving. Did you know that after an hour of being cut-tomatoes lose most of their original flavor..so best not to keep your tomatoes or pasta dish waiting around..
\nMake your cold pasta dish an eating experience!
