The Best 30-Minute Summer Pasta Recipes

summer-pasta

Even though pasta is typically thought of as fatty, I still eat it all the time! Something about noodles and sauce drives me wild! My issue is that I don’t have a lot of time to cook up a gourmet pasta meal. I need quick hitters that don’t take me longer than 30 minutes to cook. Heavy pastas are out too. It’s summer, and I don’t want to be weighed down by food. I want the pastas to be light and full of vegetables. Check out Recipe4Living’s Best 30-Minute Summer Pastas after the jump.

The Beginning of Summer

The beginning of summer has officially hit! Monday marked the the summer solstice and the longest day of the year. Summer is my favorite season because of the hot weather and scorching sun. I need my tan! Summer is also an interesting cooking season.

There are fresh fruits, like peaches, plums and all types of berries. Delicious vegetables include corn, cucumbers, beans and tomatoes. Since it’s so hot in the summer, it’s also prime-time grilling season, with burgers, dogs and brats.

Simple Summer Salad

I am a purist in many ways. No ketchup on hot dogs, no soy sauce on sushi and no horseradish on my gefilte fish.
