Hot pasta with tomato, avo and mustard vinaigrette

Working late is never nice and as I was home by 8, it wasn't even too late but tonight I honestly didn't want to spend too long on dinner so I footled (wandered aimlessly) around my kitchen in hope of inspiration.

And invented 'Hot pasta salad with Avo and a mustard vinegrette'!  The recipe served one so you can simply increase the ingredients if you are serving more than one.
  • Take sufficient wholewheat pasta to feed yourself.  I use twists but I'm sure penne would work too.  Boil until al dente.
  • Chop one avocado, one medium sized tomato and one small white Spanish onion and mix.
  • Mix olive oil, English mustard powder, red wine vinegar and a little sugar.  You need to make a vinaigrette so you need about equal parts of vinegar and oil.
  • I also add a little pepper, salt and some chili flakes.  Mix together.  The dominant flavour needs to be slightly sweet English mustard.
  • When the pasta is finished cooking, drain and mix the fresh ingredients and the vinaigrette with the pasta.
  • Serve.
OMG - really quite tasty
