Main Ingredients for Pasta Salad with Corn:

Pasta Salad with Corn


  • 200 grams of spiral pasta
  • ¼ cup of finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup of boiled corn
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 cup of red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup of finely grated carrots

Ketchup Dressing Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup of ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon of fine sugar granules
  • 1 teaspoon of vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • ¾ teaspoon of ground black pepper

Preparation Method:

  1. Cooking the Pasta: Start by filling a large, deep pot with water until about two-thirds full. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil, then place the pot on medium heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and let it cook for 10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta using a large colander.

  2. Transfer the hot pasta into a wide, deep dish. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix well with a wooden spoon until the cheese is evenly distributed. Set the pasta aside to cool completely.

  3. Preparing the Ketchup Dressing: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ketchup, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk with a hand whisk for about 3 minutes until the dressing is smooth.

  4. Assembling the Salad: In a serving dish, place the pasta and top it with corn, chopped red and green bell peppers, and grated carrots. Gently toss the salad using a wide plastic spoon to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed. Pour the ketchup dressing over the salad and mix again.

  5. Serve the pasta salad immediately, chilled. You can also refrigerate it for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld even better.

Enjoy this delicious pasta salad with corn, hoping it adds a burst of flavor to your table!
