Pasta, Pesto and Haloumi

October 05, 2010


The mercury is slowly rising towards a warmer weather... Its time to clean the wardrobe and put away winter clothing... and out 'Summer Wear'! Yay.... but... before I could put on my Summer Clothes... I need to lose few kg... as the result of 'Winter Comford Food'...

I have been having my brisk walking ... not everyday but at least 3 times a week... and last weekend ~ Mr H and I were so busy in our garden... pruning, weeding, planting (heirloom tomatoes, sweet basil, purple basil, meyer lemon) Hope that counts towards reducing my kgs :)...At the moment, the bathroom scale is not my 'BFF' yet ..

And this WeightWatcher Salad will help me in achieving my goals...  ;) 
  • 300g pasta shapes
  • 2 tablespoon traditional basil pesto (Leggo)
  • 2 tablespoon lite sour cream
  • 1 small capsicum - sliced thinly
  • 100g snowpeas sprout - cut into 3 parts
  • salt and pepper
  • a packet of Cypress haloumi cheese - thinly sliced 
Spray oil in a non stick frying pan, pan fry the haloumi cheese until golden both side. Put aside on a plate.
Cook pasta as per packet instruction. Transfer to a salad bowl, and mix in sour cream and pesto. Salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix in the vegetables. Serve
