Some nights, after a day at work and my half hour on the exercycle, I feel like nothing more than to sit down at my computer and go through my emails, then check out all my favourite blogs but instead I have to cook dinner. Knowing that I will photograph it and then blog about it, does help but sometimes I want dinner to be instantaneous. Well this dinner is next to instantaneous. The pasta cooks by itself and the veges get popped into the microwave, a bit of cutting up and the meal is done.

I love pasta salad, funny thing too is that for a long time that is what I cooked when I was too busy or tired to cook. It looks really good. Thanks for being a part of the YBR
Pasta is such a great base to heaps of different recipes. You can basically make one up according to what you have in your pantry.
It’s been fun participating in your YBR.
