hey guys it's deronda today I'm going to show you how to make this rotini garden pasta put
your own twist to it or make it just the way I'm gonna make it you're going to need a 12
ounce package of rotini I'm using the tri-colored rotini or you can just use the regular rotini and
we're going to cook this according to the package directions add to Boiling Water give it a lovely
little tossing I'm going to add a little salt to flavor the water and another little stirring this
will come back to a boil and I'm going to continue cooking for nine minutes meanwhile over here I'm
going to start preparing my garden vegetables I've got one half of a cup of red wine vinegar here I'm
going to sit off to the side and I have a cup of my favorite salsa use your favorite salsa and I'm
going to sit this off to the side along with my parsley we're going to make thin slices of two
stalks of celery make them thinner as thick as you want I'm going to leave that up to you next we're
going to chop into our cucumber this is a English cucumber it doesn't have that many seeds on the
inside and it already comes clean I'm just going to cut off the ends there cut it in half again
it makes it easier to handle and we're going to slice down the center add the flat sides to your
cutting board and we're going to cut into quarters this way we'll have all these beautiful vegetables
ready when our pasta has finished cooking if you have seeds in your cucumber you can go ahead and
take your knife and remove them like this but English cucumbers they don't have too many seeds
in them set this off to the side next we're just going to slice the Tomato you'll need one large
tomato or you'll need two medium sized Tomatoes I like to cut off the end there cut it into quarters
and we're gonna make dices of tomatoes and then we're going to go this way be careful when using
a knife you want to be very very careful if you'd like to use Roma tomatoes or cherry tomatoes you
be my guest if you'd like to add cheese to your pasta if you would like to add any kind of herb
or more vegetables such as green onions spring onions red onions you be my guest now we've got
our vegetables ready to add to our cooked pasta once we drain our pasta I've got my pasta draining
and we're going to rinse it with some nice cool water this oil helps stop the cooking process
plus it'll help cool down the pasta faster give it a little tossing and then over here add your warm
pasta to a large mixing bowl along with that red wine vinegar do it while your pasta is warm that
way it'll absorb all these fabulous flavors along with your salsa give it a lovely little tossing
and boy does this smell fantastic add all three vegetables your celery cucumbers and tomatoes
and give this a lovely little tossing until it's well coated with your salsa and red wine vinegar
and it smells so yummy if you'd like to add a little fresh Cracked Pepper to this if you'd
like to add spring onions to it olives cheese whatever else you'd like to add or take out
you be my guest we got to give this a little try and formally I just want a little tomato a pasta
a cucumber maybe a little bite of that celery and let's see what it's going to be like hmm
wow a fantastic delicious fresh rotini garden pasta oh I forgot I'm adding parsley to mine
cool little scissors yep you can buy them at any culinary shop sometimes you can find them
