When you have little time to cook, you can quickly make veggie pasta using canned garnishes. You can even turn your pasta into a delicious salad by adding various sauces to the same recipe and cooling it. Bon Appetit!
Boil half a pack of pasta of your choice in water with a teaspoon of salt for 8-10 minutes, strain, do not rinse.
If you are not going to use a ready-made side dish, peel and dice 1 large carrot, 1 potato and boil it to remain slightly firm.
Drain the boiled vegetables. Take half a jar (150 g) of canned peas in a mixing bowl with them. Add the pasta and mix well.
For the sauce, peel and crush the garlic. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and yogurt. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and crushed garlic to the sauce and mix well.
Add half of the sauce to the garnished pasta and mix by turning it upside down.
Finely chop the parsley leaves. Divide the pasta into serving bowls. Serve warm or cold, drizzle the remaining sauce over them and garnish with finely chopped parsley. Bon Appetit!

Pasta:
Pasta, a nutritious staple, provides sustained energy through its complex carbohydrate content, helping to regulate blood sugar. Whole wheat varieties are particularly rich in fiber, supporting digestive health and promoting satiety. It also contains B vitamins and minerals. It pairs excellently with tomato-based sauces, pesto, various cheeses, vegetables (broccoli, spinach), and protein sources (chicken, tuna), offering balanced and delicious meals.
Garniture:
Garnish refers to small additions that enrich a dish's presentation, flavor, and texture. Especially when fresh citrus or green herbs (parsley, dill) are used, they can offer Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and antioxidants, aiding digestion. They add freshness and visual appeal to most dishes, including main courses, soups, and salads.
Mayonnaise:
Mayonnaise is a creamy emulsion sauce made by blending egg yolks, vegetable oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. Thanks to its healthy fat content, it can enhance the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Lecithin from egg yolks provides choline, an essential nutrient for brain function. With its high energy content, it serves as a quick energy source and promotes satiety. It pairs perfectly with french fries, sandwiches, salads, and various meat dishes.
Yogurt:
Yogurt, a fermented milk product, supports the digestive system and helps balance gut flora due to its rich probiotic content. This contributes to strengthening the immune system. It is also a high-quality source of protein and calcium, important for bone health and muscle development. With its slightly sour taste, it pairs perfectly with fruits, granola, or honey for breakfast. In main dishes, it adds flavor as the main component of cacık or various mezzes.
Garlic:
Garlic, thanks to its allicin compound, offers strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can boost the immune system, increasing resistance against illnesses. Furthermore, it contributes to cardiovascular health by helping regulate blood pressure and balance cholesterol levels. Widely used in traditional medicine, garlic is also known for its digestive support effects. An indispensable ingredient in meat dishes, vegetable sautés, and Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with herbs like rosemary and thyme.
Parsley:
Parsley is a powerful antioxidant source that supports bone health and plays a crucial role in blood clotting due to its Vitamin K content. Its Vitamin C content strengthens immunity. Rich in flavonoids like apigenin, it can help reduce inflammation. It is also a natural diuretic. It pairs perfectly with lemon, garlic, and olive oil; adding a refreshing flavor to fish, chicken, soups, and salads.
Ground White Pepper:
White Pepper Powder offers a milder, earthier, and subtly citrusy flavor compared to black pepper. Thanks to its piperine content, it aids digestion and enhances the bioavailability of other nutrients, improving their absorption. It's also known for its antioxidant properties. It pairs excellently with creamy sauces, potato dishes, white meats, and soups, adding flavor without altering the dish's color.
