Note: If you notice, I didn’t tell you the amount of mayo because as I said above it depends on how creamy you like it so you can add or decrease according to your taste. Also you can remove the bitterness of onions by adding vinegar in part of salt and it will work fine too. The amount of pasta will also depend on the number of people you’re feeding.
