Pasta is always welcome at the table even when it’s hot and you have little desire to turn on the stove. So, we’ve chosen 10 sauces with less cooking time, less elaborate preparations with fresh and light ingredients!
Pasta for lunch
In keeping with the Mediterranean diet, the ideal dish for lunch is a plate of pasta, better if based on vegetables. Carbs, feared by those on a diet, are actually indispensable for our daily needs and should never be eliminated from our dietary regime.
That's why we want to recommend pasta condiments ideal for the whole family, easy to prepare, fresh and light, and perfect on these hot summer days.
Which pasta to choose?
You can choose the pasta format you prefer and also the type of flour according to your needs. Gluten intolerant? Choose rice pasta.
Do you love the light, rustic taste of wholemeal pasta? Combine it with vegetables and legumes.
Are you on a diet and want something tasty but low in calories? Choose legume pasta. You can find it in herbalist's shop, it cooks in a few minutes and is very tasty.
Pasta Salad
The fastest way to prepare pasta is to dress it with cold ingredients. Pasta salad is the general name for this dish, which can be made with different ingredients depending on your preferences.
The most classic is with cherry tomatoes, tuna, and mozzarella, but you can also prepare it with pickles, cubed cooked ham, and fontina cheese, or with different types of pesto.
Also excellent is the cold wholemeal pasta with mixed legumes and crispy vegetables such as celery and carrots.
The ideal pasta for pasta salads is short pasta. We recommend pennette, mezze maniche, farfalle, and fusilli (rotini).
