Orzo is a tiny pasta that looks like large grains of rice. It’s perfect to use in Orzo with Smokey Tomato Vinaigrette. A warm dressing made with charred tomatoes adds smokiness, and with all the fresh basil and Parmesan cheese you’ll feel like you’re at a villa in Tuscany!

Macaroni Salad
This traditional Macaroni Salad recipe is always a hit at pot lucks or summer barbecues. The ratio of cooked pasta to mayo is perfect, ensuring your salad isn’t too dry or too sloppy. And it’s best made ahead so you don’t have to worry about last minute prep.
Baked Pasta with Sausage and Peppers
Notice I didn’t call this “Sausage and Pepper Penne?” That would be plagiarism. What makes this version better than those served at popular Italian chain restaurants is, well…several things. It’s far less expensive to make it at home. You can make it as hot or mild as you like. And, this recipe is loaded with meat and vegetables and light on pasta. Here’s my favourite version of Baked Pasta with Sausage and Peppers.
Shrimp Scampi with Linguine
A quick and easy pasta dish with marinated shrimp cooked with lots of garlic and butter, then tossed in a lemon and white wine sauce.
Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
Meatless Monday doesn’t have to be tasteless Monday. This ooey gooey Roasted Vegetable Lasagna is so packed full of healthy vegetables, you won’t even miss the meat. The secret is to roast the vegetables first which intensifies the flavours and reduces any liquid so you don’t end up with a watery bottom.
