Karen's Sweet Chilli Pasta Salad

This is another recipe I always make for my Taste Events to show how versatile the marinade is as it makes amazing cold dishes as well as hot! There is so much flavour in this pasta salad, perfect for summertime barbecues to accompany your meat dishes. Alter the quantity of ingredients accordingly if you are not making for a large group

Serves: 20

Cooking & Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 500g cooked wholewheat pasta
  • 500g mayo
  • 250g sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 tablespoons marinade
  • 1 red onion chopped small
  • 1 red pepper chopped small
  • 1 yellow pepper chopped small
  • 1 green pepper chopped small
  • 100g frozen sweetcorn
  • 100g frozen peas
  • Salt & pepper

Method

Mix everything together in a bowl then alter any of the ingredients to suit your taste … if you would like a spicier taste add more marinade. If you would like it a little more creamier, add more mayonnaise!

NOTES

This recipe is amazing with the residue of any cooked spicy chicken. If you have this available, simply add to the pasta in place of the marinade then taste & if you would like it spicier, add a little marinade

Also, if making this in advance, add the mayo & sweet chilli just before serving as the pasta will absorb these if kept in the fridge 

You can use any variety of pasta, macaroni works well! Also, if you would like softer vegetables, prepare them the day before & keep in the fridge until needed
