Garlic and olive oil pasta (Aglio e Olio)
The classic Aglio e Olio is the easiest pasta recipe to make and the perfect mess-free option for lunch. Simply toss boiled spaghetti or penne in some olive oil, minced garlic and red chilli flakes. Add some grated cheese and chopped parsley, or some minced meat if you want. This recipe has no heavy sauce and can be easily packed in a tiffin.
Pesto and sun-dried tomato pasta
Another classic pasta recipe, to make this, add some basic pesto to tagliatelle, fusilli or penne and mix them well. To this, add chopped sun-dried (or grilled) tomatoes, roasted pine nuts and some spinach. Garnish with some grated cheese if you like. This is a recipe that tastes great even when cold.
Lemon herb and vegetable pasta
Take some spaghetti or bow-tie pasta and toss it with some olive oil, lemon juice and zest. Sauté some zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and minced meat and add it to the pasta. The citrus flavour helps keep your lunch fresh all through the day, even when packed.
Spicy Arrabbiata pasta
If you are someone who only loves their pasta spicy, this recipe is perfect for your work lunch. Sauté chopped garlic, chilli flakes, diced tomatoes and some bell peppers in some olive oil and use it to coat your penne pasta properly till it absorbs the oil mixture well. That's it! You can add meat if you want.
