Fast Summer Spaghetti Salad





16 oz. mozzarella cheese


5 ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped


1 C. fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped


1 large clove garlic, pressed


2 T. salt


1 T. olive oil


16 oz. thin spaghetti


salt and pepper





Bring a large pot of water to a boil.





Cut the mozzarella into small cubes and set aside in a small bowl. Combine the tomatoes, basil and garlic in another bowl.





When the water is boiling hard, add 2 tablespoons salt and the oil. Add the spaghetti and cook just until it is al dente. Do not overcook. Quickly drain the spaghetti and return it at once to the warm pot. Immediately stir in the mozzarella; the heat of the pasta will melt it slightly. Stir in the contents of the other bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at room temperature.





Serves 4 to 6.
cous cous salad:





Put cous cous (I dont bother measuring, just guess amounts depending on how many it is to feed!), thinly sliced red onion (or white onion, or spring onion), sultanas and sliced dried (ready to eat) apricots in a pan.





Add stock - not too much, just enough for the cous cous. Put the lid on the pan and leave it for a few mins - then fluff it up with a fork. The cous cous should be soft, but not soggy.





Add more veggies - I like sliced radishes, chopped cucumber, grated courgette, chopped tomatoes etc...whatever you like and have to hand. You can also add cheese (i.e. feta). At the last minute add in some chopped mint





Top it with a lamb steak (or beef, or chicken or whatever you like). The drizzle over a bit of salad dressing (I usually use olive oil, white wine vinegar, and a bit of cumin) and also add some pine nuts which have been toasted with cumin seeds if you like.

The food is great and it's fun easy and best of all save you time shopping, cutting, chopping, cooking, and cleaning up for dinner.

  1. I hope you try Dream Dinners and have a wonderful experience. It is the ultimate buy in bulk and save way to have a home cooked dinner and does cost less than buying the same ingredients at a grocery store. It is also very eco friendly, so much less packaging when you buy in bulk. We actually have children on our tasting panels; it is amazing to see what kids will really eat. We put kids in a box when we only feed them "white foods". Don’t miss our new Dream Rewards program. You can get more dinner ideas on my blog Take care. http://stephanieallen.wordpress.com/
