Ala bala portocala...

Mama sotului meu( mi-e prea greu s-o numesc soacra-eu ii spun "mama" si mamei mele "mamica", asa fac diferenta :) ) face aceasta reteta pentru petreceri. De prima data cand am gustat-o m-am indragostit de ea. Sper sa va placa si voua.

I have this recipe from my mother-in-law. As far as she can remember, she got it out of a magazine, but can't remember which one(it was a long time ago).It is a favorite for parties, and I love that you can make it the evening before and have it ready for when your guests come. Just stir well before serving and your done.


500 gr. macaroane fierte si stoarse/ 1/2 lb penne pasta cooked and drained
125 ml ulei de masline/ 1/2 cup olive oil
80 ml otet de vin/ 1/3 cup wine winegar
1 lg mustar Dijon/ 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 lgta zahar/ 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 lgta praf de usturoi 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 lgta sare/ 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 lgta piper/ 1/4 tsp black pepper
250 gr. broccoli/ 1/2 lb fresh broccoli
1/2 cana ceapa rosie/ 1/2 cup red onion
1/2 cana ardei(rosii sau galbeni)/ 1/2 cup bell peppers(red or yellow)
1/2 cana rosii uscate in ulei,tocate/ 1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
1 conserva masline negre taiate felli/ 1 can black olives, sliced
1/4 cana branza parmezan macinata/ 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 lg busuioc italian uscat 2 tbsp dry basil

Puneti macaroanele racite intr-un lighean mare. Amestecati uleiul, otetul, mustarul, otetul, praful de usturoi si piperul si turnati peste macaroane. Adaugati celelalte ingrediente si amestecati bine. Se da la frigider peste noapte(sau cel putin vreo 4 ore) ca sa se aromeze bine. Se serveste rece.


Place cooked and cooled pasta in a large bow. Combine oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl; mix well and pour over pasta. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Chill to let flavors blend. Serve chilled.
