Rocket Pasta

Previously a chef, now teaching yoga and eating Nurtured Earth organics, THANK YOU Tania Wilson of MacMasters Beach for sharing this recipe!

Serves 2Rocket_Pasta_Salad

  • Half red capsicum – sliced into strips
  • Half yellow capsicum – sliced the same
  • Two handfuls of Kalamata olives (I use the ones with seeds as they taste better) (chorizo can be added here too if you eat meat)
  • Half a cup (or more to taste of semi or sun dried tomatoes)
  • One zucchini – sliced lengthwise then chopped smaller
  • 2 big cloves garlic – smashed and chopped
  • One packet of organic rocket (can use spinach)
  • One punnet red cherry tomatoes
  • Several small hot red chillies chopped (optional of course)
  • 200 ml olive oil

Place pot of water on stove top for pasta – (use a gluten free pasta if you don’t eat gluten!). Once boiling add pasta and cook following instructions.

 

Method

  • Heat olive oil in a large fry pan – moderate heat (not smoking)
  • Add sliced capsicum, sundried tomatoes, zucchini, olives (and if you are using the chilli add now) and sauté.
  • Add garlic once capsicum etc has started to soften.
  • Turn heat to a low heat and add halved cherry tomatoes, and rocket.
  • Drain pasta and add vegies and pasta back into large pasta pot.
  • Toss gently, season.  Add more olive oil if you love it like me!
  • Add chillies to olive oil and serve separately for adults only.

I serve in a large platter topped with freshly grated parmesan for people to help themselves.
