| | Liven Up Your Summer with Chilled Pasta Salads
| | | | | There are some GREAT recipes that just seem to get forgotten from time to time. Then, unexpectedly, we get re-introduced to them at a picnic, at a restaurant or while browsing on the web…just like you’re doing now.
Therefore, while you’re here, we would be remiss if we didn’t remind you that just because it’s hot outside, this isn’t necessarily the time to forget about having pasta for dinner tonight... Not ALL great pasta dinners are hot you know. Some are JUST as delicious chilled.
So, it’s the time of year to start thinking about pasta in a different way. Like chilled Entrée Pastas!
Chicken, Beef, Pork, Seafood, Fish….or even colorful vegetables and cheeses all make fantastic Pasta Entrée’s. And they’re not all tossed in mayo either. You can create any number of these great pasta salads using vinaigrettes or even sauces that you’d ordinarily use hot, just thin them down and use them chilled. A whole world of chilled pasta dishes is out there waiting to be re-discovered!
To give you some ideas and to (hopefully) get you started, here are a couple of our favorites that you can find right here on our website.
