Such a lovely and easy recipe, Madhuji. I wish I could eat it from the picture itself. I avoid pasta as I cant eat cheese. But I am surely going to try the Chimichurri pasta. Thank you for sharing another delectable recipe.

This is exactly the kind of salad recipe I was looking for my kiddo’s lunch at school, healthy and tasty. The sauce is also easy to make and cold salads make for a tasty snack to prepare and refrigerate in advance, saving me time in the early morning rush.

Madhu Mam, can I have your address please as now after reading so many recipes from you and including this pasta one I want to go for a hands on training from you to cook varieties of dishes. I will be blessed If one day I can meet you and learn from you. The USP of your recipes is that its simple and easy to make yet tasty. I am not good with pasta so far but this recipe is encouraging me to give a try and I am thankful to you for that. My Hubby loves pasta.

How do you come up with absolutely amazing ideas? I run out of them and I have a problem serving my kids the resto type of food. Pasta is something that my kids love and this version of them might love it too.
