I love digging into a plate of pasta during the summer and given the countless ways you can cook pasta—and make a plate of food out of very few ingredients—pasta is one of my go-to meal options for this warm weather season. Plus, having simple summer pasta salad recipes on hand is actually a great way to prepare for all those picnics and potlucks you’re sure to be enjoying out in the sunshine!
