GREEN GARDEN PASTA SALAD
Creamy pasta doesn’t always have to be that heavy. We made this green garden pasta salad on a warm summer night as a comfort food after a long day. It is a great alternative when you feel like having some creamy pasta but would still like to keep it relatively light and green.
This recipe takes less than 30 minutes to prepare so it makes a great mid-week dinner. It is also super easy to make so I guarantee anyone can master it. You can have it warm or cold and so if you make big enough batch for dinner then you can have the left overs as a cold pasta salad for lunch the next day. It could also make a great salad for a summer party.
Simple, fresh and creamy. I hope you enjoy this summery pasta salad.
