Luncheon Pasta Salad

Luncheon Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

A refreshing light pasta salad for a main dish luncheon or summer potluck. I like small or medium shell pasta, but elbow, ditalini or bow tie pastas are good choices too.

Pasta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Pasta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes by Salad Foodie

I am enamored with pasta, tomatoes and basil recipes and have tried out several. This one is from Cook's Country (April/May 2015) and indeed has robust tomato flavors by roasting them! See Useful Links below for an earlier posted and similar recipe that we liked well too.

Rotini with Pesto, Tomatoes and Spinach

Rotini with Pesto, Tomatoes and Spinach by Salad Foodie

My friend's daughter tasted this last year on a vacation and dubbed it the "Best Pasta Ever." I'll go along with her on that! It's a healthy and colorful vegetarian pasta dish that will serve 6 generously, or make heaped platefuls for 4 ravenous diners! I started with the recipe the chef gave her, but it was just a list of…

Southwestern Shell Pasta Salad

Southwestern Shell Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

Chop, chop, chop and get your frustrations out making this pasta salad with south-of-the-border appeal. Choose your heat level by amount of peppers, hot sauce and chilies you add. This yields a generous bowl and serves 12-14. Make this ahead of time and chill ~ if you can wait and can keep everyone out too!

Making your own “hats” or rather Orecchiette, will take about 1 hour. *Based on directions from MarthaStewart.com.

This pasta salad is a terrific side or even a main dish. Serve it up with tomato wedges, crusty bread and a side of fresh fruit! It has a light, lemony dressing that tastes clean and light.

Tempeh Carbonara

Tempeh Carbonara by Suzi

Tempeh Carbonara, hmmm. I have always wanted to make Spaghetti Carbonara, the photos look so delicious and creamy. I was under the mistaken assumption that cream was used in Spaghetti Carbonara and that was why it looked creamy. After having read Frank Fariello’s recipe which I really enjoyed, I see that cream is traditionally…

Fettuccini with Broccoli Rabe

Fettuccini with Broccoli Rabe by Suzi

There are times when you just can't say no to pasta. This dish is faily easy to prepare. Broccoli Rabe was in a prominent spot in the produce section the other day and that goes very nicely with pasta. I whipped up an Alfredo sauce and added in sun-dried tomatoes (still on the sun-dried tomato kick). You might consider this a…
