Easy Summer Pasta Recipes

Here comes summer! My favorite season of all. I get to enjoy the sun, the beach, picnic, family get-together, and many more. And of course, the food that comes along with it… PASTA!

It is one of the easiest meals to prepare and doesn’t require any advanced cooking skills. No wonder it has become a family food staple in every home.

Here’s a collection of some of my favorite summer pasta dishes to satisfy your summer cravings. I can’t wait for you to try them! 😉

Summer Pasta Sides

1. Creamy Chicken Pasta Salad

Creamy Chicken Pasta Salad

Chicken breast, cucumber, bell peppers, and rotini pasta coated with a creamy dressing made with mayo and Ranch Dressing combo.

You can be creative and add more veggies to this summer pasta. One of the easiest summer pasta recipes you can easily whip up anytime. 

2. Easy Pasta Salad

Easy Pasta Salad

Pizza toppings to go with your salad? Why not? Add some pepperoni, salami, or ham to this easy-to-make summer pasta salad loaded with fresh veggies and mozzarella cheese.

And don’t forget the herb-infused dressing which makes this dish truly remarkable. 😉

3. Tuna Macaroni Salad

Tuna Macaroni Salad

Canned tuna to the rescue! Plus, a handful of ingredients like macaroni, mayonnaise, boiled eggs, and bell pepper, and you’ll have a scrumptious salad in no time.

Truly a must-try summer pasta salad perfect as a BBQ side dish or a meal on its own.

Easy Pasta Dinner

4. Blackened Shrimp and Pasta

Blackened Shrimp and Pasta

Fancy date-night made possible by my homemade Immaculate Bites Blackened Seasoning, pasta, and shrimp.

This pasta dish is made even better with simple yet flavor-packed sauce infused with Thyme, Paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. What a fantastic dish ready in 30 minutes! Amazing!

5. Rasta Pasta

Rasta Pasta

A pasta dish loaded with savory flavors from herbs, spices, and parmesan cheese. And that chicken?

It’s generously seasoned with Immaculate Bites Jerk Seasoning to fully incorporate authentic Jamaican flavors that perfectly complement this creamy and cheesy summer pasta favorite. 

6. Chicken Pasta Bake

Chicken Pasta Bake

One of the best summer pasta dishes ever made! It’s a healthy and guaranteed family-friendly meal you can cook any day. The addition of broccoli and chicken chunks in a cheesy and creamy sauce is just truly divine. Hmmm-mmmm!

You can enjoy this pasta dish on its own or have some crusty garlic bread or sauteed kale on the side.

7. Shrimp Scampi Pasta

Shrimp Scampi Pasta

Lemony and garlicky are the flavors you’re looking for in a perfect shrimp scampi pasta. But my version calls for the addition of Creole Seasoning and Italian Seasoning.

The added kick of heat and flavors from mixed herbs adds another layer of deliciousness to this fancy summer pasta dish. You bet this one is best served right out of the pan!

8. Chicken Alfredo

The secret to the creaminess and sauciness of this Chicken Alfredo is no other than the addition of cream cheese. Yes! It works like magic!

It made the sauce richer and cheesier. Truly mouthwatering and satisfying meal your whole family will love. Best eaten with freshly baked Homemade Breadsticks. 

9. Easy Lasagna

Tomato Pasta Recipe Easy Lasagna

My favorite tomato pasta recipe of all time! The layers of meaty sauce, cheese sauce, and lasagna noodles are flawlessly balanced.

If you think that’s just about it, you’re in for a treat with the combination of parmesan, ricotta, and mozzarella cheeses. It’s all happening in one single dish! 

10. Stovetop Mac and Cheese

Stovetop Mac and Cheese

No oven? No problem! This one-pot meal is perfect for you. You’ll never go wrong with a 3-cheese combo – gouda, sharp cheddar, and mozzarella.

Amazingly cheesy and creamy goodness in every bite! Now that’s certainly a crave-worthy and satisfying dish! Serve it with Southern Fried Chicken for the best brunch and dinner duo.

 

If there’s anything I can eat every day without any complaint (aside, of course, from donuts), that would be pasta. It’s truly one of the comfort foods I enjoy eating.

Not only they are satisfying and filling, but also very versatile. You can play around with the sauce and it’d always come out so good. How about you, which summer pasta recipe you like best?
