Super Simple Summer Pasta Salad

One thing we love about pasta salad is that you can totally make it your own. You can use any pasta: elbow, fettucini, penne, smiley face – the world is your oyster! You can also go rogue; diverge from the recipe and add whatever your heart desires. Bell peppers, sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts are a great addition to this already scrumptious recipe. Play around with it and make it fun!

SB verdict: this is pastably the best summer pasta salad we’ve ever had!
