Summer pasta salads are an emerging tradition in my house. Between dealing with a major heat wave and family members on different schedules, cooking dinner in the oven for a long period of time each night just isn’t practical. A quick summer pasta dinner is an easy way to incorporate filling pasta, fresh veggies, meat and other ingredients to make a healthy and satisfying meal. I’ve rounded up a few amazing pasta recipes from AllFreeCopycatRecipes.com that are great for sharing with family and friends. If you like what you see, try it out yourself and post a photo of your creation on the All Free Copycat Recipes Facebook page. Mix it up, make it fun and try something new!

I love your recipes. I would like a recipe for
Wal-Mart’s whole roasted garlic chicken, so good.
Please, Thank you
Seeing your mac and cheese recipe reminds me of the one I make: Bacon mac and cheese. It’s a huge hit with the men in my family. I like to use shell pasta with cheddar cheese, but I’ll use a Kraft box if I’m short on time. All you have to do is throw the bacon in the microwave and mix it all together. Delicious!
