Summer Pasta Salad

The best type of dinner on a hot summer night is a cold one. Pasta salad is my cold dinner of choice. It has every thing you need - carbs, vegetables, protein, and dairy if you add cheese (which of course, you should). Try Pasta With Roasted Ricotta and Peas or this recipe for Basil Pesto with macaroni noodles.

You can also try a Classic Italian Pasta Salad with asiago cheese or Grilled Pasta Salad with goat cheese.
