Copy That: Quick Summer Pasta Dinners

July 27, 2012 by AllFreeCopycatRecipes

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!

 

Carino’s Spicy Shrimp and Chicken Pasta

Turn up the volume with this spicy restaurant copycat dish. It’s a quick summer pasta dinner with a little kick. The combination of chicken and shrimp makes for a delicious dinner filled with healthy protein. Carino’s Spicy Shrimp and Chicken Pasta  is a great combination of spicy and creamy.

 

Copycat Macaroni Grill Penne Rustica

Want a restaurant dish without the restaurant price? Copycat Macaroni Grill Penne Rustica delivers just that. Combine the luxury of dining out with the ease of eating in. Gather your family together to enjoy this warm and tasty classic.

 

Copycat Noodles and Company Mac and Cheese

Is it just me, or is a piping hot bowl of  mac and cheese absolutely irresistible? The classic comfort food  made famous by Kraft is one of my all-time favorites. This recipe for Copycat Noodles and Company Mac and Cheese is no exception. It’s a quick summer pasta dinner the kids will flip for (and the adults will too).

 

Knock-Off Maggiano’s Fettucine Alfredo

If you love the creamy and delicious flavor of traditional fettucine Alfredo, you’ll fall head over heels for this copycat Maggiano’s version.  Be sure to add a generous ladle of Alfredo sauce to make the dish complete. It’s a great meal to serve family style, just like they would serve it at Maggiano’s.
