I made this last night. A delicious and simple pasta salad from mostly home grown ingredients, as a test of eating well during a survival situation. One box of pasta and the ingredients below served six.

Pandemic Pasta Salad Recipe

  • 12oz box of tri-color rotini
  • 8 cherry tomatoes quartered (grown)
  • 1 cucumber (grown)
  • 8 white mushrooms
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1 small can olives
  • 1 can artichoke hearts
  • dressing made from extra virgin olive oil, dijon mustard, honey
  • salt and pepper
Eat cheaply, healthy and well during a survival situation


In total, this cost about $12.

Cherry tomatoes and cucumbers are quite easy to grow. The goal is to be self sufficient in more of those ingredients, like button mushrooms, bell pepper and artichoke.
