Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs Macaroni
  • 1½ cup Mayonnaise
  • ½ whole Onion
  • 1 Whole Egg
  • 1 Whole Carrot
  • 1 Whole Roasted Red Pepper
  • 2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice

Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot
  • 1 Colander
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Mixing Spoon
  • 1 Grater
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Step 1
    Fill the large pot with filtered water and add salt, so the water is salty. Salty water will ensure the pasta will absorb a bit of flavor.
  2. Step 2
    While you wait for the water to boil, let's prepare the remaining ingredients.
    Finely dice half the onion and chop the roasted red pepper.
    Clean and finely shred the carrot.
  3. Step 3
    Now that the water has come to a boil, add the macaroni and egg.
    Cook the macaroni to an al dente consistency. Drain the macaroni and cooked egg. Add a few ice cubes to the pasta to stop the cooking process.
    Allow the macaroni to cool.
    Peel the egg and chop.
  4. Step 4
    In a large bowl, combine the macaroni, shredded carrots, finely chopped onions, roasted red pepper, egg, lemon juice, and mayo.
    Then add the oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste and mix well.
  5. Step 5
    Cover the mixing bowl and place in the fridge for an hour, and serve!
