This pasta salad is super versatile. I made this one with cheese tortellini, but you can switch it out for any type of pasta… and it’s absolutely amazing with quinoa. It’s a healthy crowdpleaser that’s perfect for hot summer days.

I adapted this sauce from Rachael Ray who adapted this sauce from Marcella Hazan (so you know it must be good). I adjusted a few components (and added milk to tenderize the meat) - the result was better than I even expected. My husband said it’s one of the top five pastas he’s ever had in his life… and I’m not bragging, but the guy eats a lot of pasta.

My husband made this for me for the first time. I fell in love (with the pasta; was already in love with the husband). I decided to make it for myself while adding more veggies and changing the marinade on the shrimp. You don't have to follow my directions for the veggies or protein though - mix it up and create whatever you'd like. As long as you have the sauce and pasta, you've got this dish in the bag. It's super easy, better than take-out and you can double the sauce recipe to freeze for another time. This dish is the gift that keeps on giving!
