Delicious, Simple, and Easy Macaroni Salad!

In a baking dish, combine coarsely chopped onion, coarsely chopped garlic, (level) salt, (level) black pepper, oregano, and olive oil.

Place the baking dish with the seasonings in a preheated oven at 350°F (180ºC) for about 20 minutes, until lightly browned.

While the seasoning roasts, boil 2 liters of water in a pot and add 250g of rotini pasta and 1 level tablespoon of salt.

Cook the pasta until it is 'al dente,' stirring occasionally, and drain.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the cooked and drained pasta, mixing so the pieces don't stick together.

Transfer the roasted seasonings (once cooled) to a blender, add a small carton of heavy cream and half a cup of mayonnaise, and blend for about two minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the blended sauce, canned corn, peas, chopped black olives, grated carrot, chopped ham, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped fresh chives.

Mix all the ingredients well until the sauce is evenly incorporated with the pasta and mix-ins.
