I have spaghetti with a little butter, parmesan/reggiano cheese and edible flowers. The salad to the side is cold: chic peas, olives, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, garlic, herbs de provence and olive oil. I didn't need salt with any of it. The cheese made the pasta salty and the olives gave it just enough saltiness for me.
This pasta was especially good. It's a warm pasta salad that I made (and excellent for cold leftovers. Since those usually taste good with marination.) It has: basil, yellow baby tomatoes (from my friend W
), olives and chic peas. After the pasta was done cooking I put it back in the pot with a little olive oil and threw all the ingredients in and let it heat up from the pasta. (I didn't cook it. Just let it sit in the pot). When you cook your pasta in this case, you might want to undercook it just a little bit so that the pasta stays al dente.
The potato salad I made on a whim. It was especialy delicious. Take new (red) potatoes, cubed and put in a pot full of cold water. Boil till it is the texture you want. Drain but don't rinse. In a large bowl combine: kewpie mayo, dijon mustard, paprika, basil, garlic powder and add enough olive oil to make a paste. Add the hot potatoes that are drained well and mix carefully. Eat while piping hot. It's so delicious! YUM!
