Hi reader!
My daughter recently turned 4 🥳 and when I asked her what she wanted for her birthday dinner she said white pasta, aka buttered noodles, and pasta salad, aka pasta with salad dressing.
(Tell me your daughter didn't fall far from the tree without telling me your daughter didn't fall far from the tree. 😂)
That said, we eat a lot of pasta here at home and these 10 pasta-centric recipes are among our favorites in the summertime because they're great served chilled, full of fresh herbs, and/or pair well with a grilled main.
These recipes show that pasta can go beyond cold weather comfort food, into the realm of satisfying summery showstoppers!
