One of my favorite ways to use pasta is by making pasta salads! I recently made a delicious pasta salad that was a hit! This is something I will be making again soon. My summer pasta salad recipe is full of flavor and easy to make.
I used the garden rotini pasta, some cheese, bell peppers and used some Balsamic Vinaigrette to give it a little extra punch! This pasta salad goes great as a meal or a side dish. A perfect recipe for those looking for potluck side dishes.
