Healthyish Pasta Salad | Lunch Ideas

You know when you’re really hungry but you don’t want to eat unhealthy, don’t have the skills to cook a masterpiece, and can’t spare the money to go somewhere for lunch? Well this is a daily dilemma when you’re me. Since I experience this so often, I have had to discover ways to avoid it.

So here, is my recipe a healthy, quick and easy lunch idea!

(PS: I am not a health expert, in fact this meal isn’t even that healthy. I’m just saying it’s healthier than getting maccas.) (“maccas” is the Australian word for McDonalds.)

Healthyish Pasta Salad

Ingredients:

·         1 Cup Pasta

·         Handful of bacon/ham

·         Handful of peas

·         Handful of corn

·         Ranch dressing

You can mix this up, add more vegies or change the dressing to your preference.

Method:

1.       Boil water.

2.       Add pasta into water, mixing ever so often to avoid pasta sticking together.

3.      Microwave extra ingredients until hot.

4.      Once pasta is cooked, drain out excess water and add pasta to a bowl.

5.      Add extra ingredients to bowl and mix together.

6.      Add in dressing into pasta mix and stir.

7.      Congrats. You are grade 10 masterchef.

You can even make this the night before and eat it cold. I know this seems like such a simple meal, but sometimes even though something is simple, it isn’t always thought of.

Have a good week y’all!
