3 cold pasta ideas for summer. Three easy and quick recipes: ready in just a few minutes. Customize them according to your taste.
For all the recipes, I drained the pasta al dente and then dressed it. As mentioned, you can customize the ingredients based on your preferences.
I used zucchini, speck, ricotta, cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, mozzarella balls, and fresh cow’s milk cheese. All simple and easily available ingredients.
For the preparation, you can watch the video on my YouTube Channel.
