Pasta Potato Salad

Very easy salad. Ticks all the boxes. Easy, looks beautiful and filling.
My husband was saying that pasta and potato do not mix well. But THIS recipe proves him wrong!

Ingredients:
Potato - 1, cubed
Garlic - 5 cloves, crushed
Capsicum / bell pepper - 1, cubed
Tomato - 2, medium, cubed
Mushroom - 100 gms
Pasta - 1 cup
Chilly Flakes - 1 tsp or more
Olive oil - 4 tbsp
Spring Onion - 1 sprig , green part chopped fine
Juice of 1/2 a lemon

Method:
Boil 4 cups of water with 1 tsp salt.
Add the potato and cook for  5 minutes, till it softens but retains shape.
Drain and save the water.
In the same water, boil the pasta until 'al dente'. Drain and keep aside.
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil and add the cleaned mushroom + 2 cloves garlic.
Cook for 2 minutes covered. Then open and cook till it starts browning.
Now make a well in the centre and add the capsicum. Wait till you hear the skin popping. Then toss.
Season with salt.
Remove with a slotted spoon and keep aside.
Now in the same frying pan, add the rest of the oil and add the potato.
When it starts browning, add the garlic and chilly flakes.
When the garlic gets golden, add the tomato and saute till it softens.
Add in the capsicum, mushroom and cooked pasta.
Taste. Add more salt, if necessary and mix well.
Turn off flame and add the lemon juice.
Serve garnished with spring onion greens.
