Seriously to me.. I don't quite fancy with cold meal especially when it come to pasta?? So I don't quite like it.. But on the other day, when a friend of mine made this?! It was served hot!
Wow, a salad served hot? Interesting right? Well, to be honest with you. This dish can be serve in hot or cold. Just like Katy Perry's song 'Hot & Cold'
I hope all the tastemaker like you will like this. And have a try..

PICKLE PASTA SALAD WITH MEAT
INGREDIENTS
200G SPIRALI PASTA
100G MINCED BEEF/CHICKEN
1 BOWL MIX PEAS/CARROTS/CORN
1 BOWL CHOPPED BABY CORN
1 BOWL CHOPPED PICKLES CUCUMBER
FEW STALK OF CHOPPED CORIANDER LEAVES
1 INDIAN CHOPPED INDIAN ONION ( SEPERATED IT IN TWO SECTION FOR DRESSING AND LATER TO SAUTE THE MEAT)
BUTTER
SALAD DRESSING
1. PREPARE AN EMPTY BIG BOWL. ADD 4 TBSP OF MAYONAISE, 4 TBSP OF VINEGAR, 1 TSP OF BLACK PEPPER, A PINCH OR 2 OF CAYENNE PEPPER, SALT TO TASTE AND MIX IT WELL.
2. ADD ALL THE VEGETABLE INCLUDING THE ONION & THE CHOPPED CORIANDER LEAVES INTO THE DRESSING. MIX IT COMPLETE AND PUT THEM INTO THE FRIDGE TO CHILL.
PASTA & MEAT
1. PUT THE PASTA TO BE COOK AND MAKE SURE THE PASTA IS COOK COMPLETELY SOFT AND TENDER. ONCE THE PASTA IS COOK AS HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE, LET IT TO BE DRAIN. AND PLEASE TAKE NOTE IN THIS. DO NOT RE-RUN THE PASTA IN A COLD OR TAB WATER AS THE PASTA SHOULD BE REMAIN HOT OR WARM FOR THE DRESSING LATER.
2.MEANWHILE PUT THE MEAT IN A PAN TO BE SAUTED. AND ADD AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF BUTTER. AS THE MEAT WILL HAVE IT'S JUICE AND NATURAL OIL COME OUT FROM THE MEAT. SO IN THIS CASE IF YOURSELF NOT FANCY OF AN OILY MEAL, YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE NOT TO ADD THE BUTTER BUT INSTEAD SAUTED IN SLOWLY UNTIL THE ORIGINAL OIL CAME OUT FROM THE MEAT, THEN LATER ADD IN THE CHOPPED ONION TO BE SAUTE UNTIL IT BECAME TRANSLUCENT, GIVE A PINCH OF BLACK PEPPER & TUMERIC POWDER TO TASTE.
3. ONCE THE MEAT AND ONION IS SAUTED SET IT ASIDE TO BE SLIGHTLY COOL.
4. LAST BUT NOT LEAST BRING THE PASTA INTO A PASTA BOWL. TO HAVE A GOOD PASTA SALAD IS WHEN THE PASTA IS STILL WARM, PUT YOUR DRY CLEAN PALM ONTO IT. YOUR PASTA SHOULD BE ABLE TO STICK ONTO IT.
5. ADD YOUR MEAT INTO THE PASTA, ADD THE DRESSING AND MIX IT WELL.
6. YOUR PASTA IS READY TO BE SERVE. WELL IF YOURSELF LOVE CHILL PASTA..WELL..CHILL IT..
YOU ARE ALSO ALLOW TO USED ANY KIND OF OTHER PASTA FOR EXAMPLE LIKE MACARONI OR PENNE OR SEASHELL SHAPE.. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT USING LONG PASTA SUCH AS SPAGHETTI OR FETTUCINI..YOU CAN TRY AND YOU LET ME KNOW THE RESULT OF THE OUT COME..
TILL THEN...CHEERS!
