Lately I discovered small pasta shapes like mini farfalle, quadrucci, ditali - and in this case sorpresine noodles from DeCecco. They unfold to tiny little flower shapes and have the size of a small pea, which makes them just about perfect for pasta salad to be stuffed into veggies.
And with a colorful and tasty shell like roma tomatoes you'll add zing and nutritional value, too.
This pasta salad consists of sorpresine egg noodles, peas, some diced mortadella sausage, and mayo. For crunch and munch I've added a red radish and some cucumber on the side. Second tier: a peach, an organic kiwi, a handful of organic walnuts and an orange pudding from the Asian market.
Since I made the pasta salad the night before, all I had to do in the morning was scoop the seeds out of the tomato halves, fill in the pasta salad, and pack the fresh fruit - packing time 5 minutes, including peeling the kiwifruit.

Looks delicious. Where do you find such organized lunchboxes!? I need to get my hands on a couple of those!
ReplyDeletethe yartym's: unfortunately I have no idea where to get this particular one, it was a gift from a friend who traveled to Tokyo, it is a Hakoya box - see pic 1 and pic 2 - but you can find a lot of cool bento stuff on ebay.com (worldwide shipping)
ReplyDeleteThe food looks pretty organized too and I love the combination of shapes, sizes and colours. I can almost taste it. That "almost" was your clue to say "oh, don't worry, I'll send it right over"
ReplyDeleteBeautiful presentation! So colourful and neatly arranged.
