*no Cook Summer Pasta

"I found this recipe in a 2000 In Style magazine. We make this a LOT at my house in the hot weather. The only cooking you have to do is boiling water. You will need a food proccesor or a blender for this one. Delicious and healthy!"

  1. This pasta is so so good! Served it at room temp and just loved the fresh taste of the sauce - tangy and tomato-ey and loved the garlic and basil. The pine nuts were a great touch too. Made just as directed and wouldn't change a thing - thanks for sharing a keeper! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2012
