mayonnaise pasta recipe | mayo pasta salad | pasta salad with mayo with detailed photo and video recipe. a unique and simple way of making pasta salad recipe made with a generous amount of mayo. it is easy and quick italian pasta recipe filled with creamy and rich eggless mayonnaise. it is an ideal snack, served as an evening snack, but can also be served for morning breakfast and also salad for lunch.
i am not a huge fan of mayonnaise pasta recipe, and i generally find it creamy and filling. having said that it is one of the favourite pasta recipes of my husband. and hence i have to prepare it frequently for him, and i make it for his lunch box. in this recipe, i have used eggless mayo which is less creamy and less thick. but if you are comfortable with egg-based mayo, then it is more recommended to use it. in addition to these, you can also use the other flavours of mayo like aioli and garlic mayo. but i personally like the simple and flavourless version, but it is completely up to individual preference.
furthermore, i would like to add some tips and suggestions for a creamy mayonnaise pasta recipe. firstly, in this recipe, i have used penne pasta which can be easily replaced with macaroni, ravioli and even sphagetti. in addition, you can also mix and match with a choice of veggies as per your taste. secondly, you have to be very cautious after you have added the mayo to pasta. you need to switch off the flame after the mayo is added, otherwise, it may curdle due to heat. lastly, as mentioned previously try the same recipe with your choice or flavoured mayo for a different taste.
