The post Alternative Pasta Ideas to Shake Up Your Weeknights appeared first on Cooking 4 All.

]]> Finding time to cook during the week can be challenging, meaning that preparing food in bulk on the weekend may be your only option. The problem is that eating the same thing every day can feel monotonous. Here are some unique dishes you can create using pasta to make your weeknight meals all the more interesting.

Tapas Pasta Salad

Cook your pasta as you normally would and if you have already done so, all the better. Add olives, feta cheese, almonds, and perhaps some chorizo for a tapas-style dinner.

Fidea Seco

This Mexican pasta dish will be sure to spice up your dinnertime. Add slices of avocado, sour cream, and cilantro leaves to your pasta for a scrumptious taste adventure.

Lemony Spaghetti With Sardines And Bread Crumbs

Much like the name suggests, this dish involves adding teaspoons of lemon zest to your pasta before cooking up some sardines and bread crumbs. Add some garlic and lemon wedges for an extra punch.

]]> Vegetarian alternatives can be a bit dull. So often at barbeques, the offering may be a bean burger or a fake meat burger made from soya.

  2. Finely slice the onion into rings and the tomato into discs. 
  3. Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and brush clean. Drizzle each mushroom with the extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with some salt, pepper, and thyme. 
  4. Use your hands to rub the seasoning in, and then place the mushrooms under a grill on a medium heat, cooking for 5-10 minutes on each side.
  5. Meanwhile, slice the halloumi into 4 and place into an oiled pan. Gently fry for a few minutes on each side, until golden brown.
