Evaluation of Pasta salad

The pasta salad project was one where we were left to choose what we were to make as long as it contained a staple food, and where we were independently making the pasta salad.

I sliced my mushrooms into a fairly good size and then I sliced the red pepper into a similar size, so that the pieces were the same size in your mouth. I weighed out the 200 grams of pasta and put them into the boiling pan independently. I checked the time at the beginning of cooking and waited 10 minutes before checking that it was cooked. When I did this, I asked the girl next to me to hold the wooden spoon with pasta and I got a knife and poked it through the pasta to check if it was cooked. When it was cooked I got the colander and put it in the sink, then poured the pasta with the water into the colander and the water drained. Then I rinsed the pasta in the cold water to cool it. I put the vegetables in as well as the olive oil dressing. Unfortunately, I had forgotten the pesto which was also going to be the dressing.

When I stirred the pesto into the salad, the flavour of the pesto made the pasta have a distinct taste and smell. It added colour ...
