PASTA SALAD
INGREDIENTS
- 150 g tagliatelle (uncooked)
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2-3 g coconut oil
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 3-4 tbsp water
- 30 g almonds, chopped
- 6-7 dates, pitted (approx. 80 g)
- 8-10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 2-3 handfuls of arugula
- 2-3 tbsp Parmesan (optional)
PREPARATION
Cook the pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Then drain, rinse with cold water, and let it drain well. In the meantime, thoroughly wash and dry the arugula. Finely dice the onion, chop the almonds, cut the dates into small pieces, and quarter the cherry tomatoes.
In a non-stick pan, dry roast the chopped almonds until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside. Heat the coconut oil in the same pan. Sauté the diced onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the curry powder and fry for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then deglaze with 3-4 tbsp water, mix everything well, and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes over low heat.
Place the cooled pasta in a large bowl. Add the onion-curry mixture and mix thoroughly.
