Help me save my pasta?
I was making a cold pasta salad with veggies and chicken.. when I accidentially dumped a bunch of garlic powder in it.. I was able to scoop a good portion out of it but lots of it just sank into the pasta and veggies... it tastes way to garlic-y..
Is there anything I can do to even out the flavor?
I would try to re-do the noodles, they would asborb a lot more than the vegetables. Also, a lot cheaper to replace the noodles then the vegetable
