Farfalle Pasta Salad

Serves 4 – 6
Prep time 15 minutes
Cooking time 20 minutes
Ingredients
3 cups of Farfalle Pasta
1 tsp of crushed saffron
1tsp of olive oil
5 cups of water to boil the pasta in
1tsp of salt
For the MANGO SAUCE
(This was a totally off the cuff try, based on intuition and a sense of what might work with what…So subbing one fruit (tomato) for another tangy was an interesting, yet plausible choice for me)
Pulp of 2 big mangoes – peeled and cut
1 tbsp whole black peppers
2 green chilies (not required/optional)
1 tbsp crushed rosemary
1 tsp of lemon juice
1 tsp of honey
4 tsp of olive oil
080

Veggies:
½ long red pepper (red long capsicum)
1 bell pepper (capsicum)
4-5 mushrooms, minced
2 cloves of garlic
¼ of a red onion
1tsp of olive oil

Preparation
First boil 5 cups of water in a pot. Add 1 tsp of salt and i tsp of olive oil. Crush 1 tsp of saffron and add to the water.
Add the pasta and slow cook for about 7-9 minutes – You should have lovely golden yellow bowtie pasta! Set aside
While the pasta is boiling, in a blender, add the mangoes, 1 tbsp of peppers, honey, green chilies in about a cup of water.
Add a tsp of olive oil in a pot. Pour the blended mango puree and allow it to boil for about 5-10 minutes- Keep the flame in medium heat. (keep covered)
Take the cut veggies and toss in a pan with 1 tsp of olive oil. Add some salt and allow it to tenderize but not overcook!
Now you have your three components. Get yourself a pasta bowl. Pour the farfalle in. Drizzle 1 last tsp of olive oil and toss. Add the veggies and toss again. Drizzle about 2-3 ladles of mango sauce and mix in well. Sprinkle pine nuts and some parmesan.
Take some pictures if you are blogging thisJ
I allowed it to cool on the kitchen table – this can be served hot, warm or cold.
Presto Pasta J
End Notes: You can bottle the rest of the mango sauce for another occasion or use as salad dressing or as a dip with some yummy baguette!
