Ingredients
 

  • 650 g Cooked pasta (possibly Maltagliati see recipe)
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil (but only if NO Maltagliati are used)
  • 180 g Green frozen peas
  • 20 g Spring onions fresh
  • 20 g Red chilli
  • 140 g Red peppers
  • 140 g Yellow peppers
  • 150 g Cheddar cheese
  • 130 g Paprika pulp (Ajvar)
  • 4 tbsp Ketchup
  • 3 tbsp Light balsamic vinegar
  • Pepper, salt, pinch of sugar

Instructions
 

  • If you want to make your own pasta, here is the link: Maltagliati - "unevenly cut pasta" .... here you do not need to add the olive oil specified in the list of ingredients, since in this case there is already some on the cooked pasta.
  • Purchased pasta should weigh 650 g after cooking and then require 3 tablespoons of olive oil.

Preparation:

  • Cook the pasta (see as described above). Save some pasta water, cook or blanch the frozen peas in it according to the instructions on the packet, drain and allow to cool. Clean the spring onions and cut into small rings. Wash and dry the chilli, remove the stem, cut in half, core and cut the halves crosswise into narrow strips. Wash the bell peppers, remove the stalk, cut in half, core and cut into small cubes. Cut the cheddar into larger cubes.
  • Put everything in a larger bowl and mix. Mix the ajvar, ketchup, balsamic vinegar, pepper, salt and sugar into the marinade and add it to the pasta. Mix everything together thoroughly and let the salad steep for at least 1 hour.
  • It is suitable for vegetarians, and if vegans leave out the cheese, they can also consume it "safely".
  • We had it as a grill side dish with chicken whings and the prepared amount is sufficient for 6 people.
