Nothing screams summer like homemade pasta salad filled with an assortment of fresh produce. It’s a simple yet refreshing dish that’s perfect as a colorful side, a picnic showstopper or — even better — an effortless weeknight dinner.
Ina Garten’s recipe for summer garden pasta is an absolute must-try this season. To start, combine cherry tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, basil leaves, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Cover the mixture and set it aside at room temperature for about four hours — or until you’re ready to serve the pasta salad.
