Thanks, Bernadette! And so light and fresh. I’m in the US visiting my mom right now and the supermarket pasta salads look like they are buried in a mayonaise snow bank
I know - sorry about that. I was frustrated and angry with the obscene cruelty being leveraged in the name of that phrase and wanted to take it back, make it safe, applying it to the innocuous pasta salad. I’m in Indiana visiting my mom. I feel that the sad, floppy, overdressed pasta salads locked behind glass in the deli section are not for consumption.
I just love this so much Lolly! From your cold pasta recipe to your pics of relaxing whisky and toasting with your love! Reading it brought a smile and a sigh! Cheers, my friend!🥂
Haha! Thank you, Jenn!! 🥰 I’m so happy it brought you a smile and you shared that with me - it makes my day!!! it’s not a whisky though - it’s chinotto, a bitter citrus Italian soft drink
Unfortunately, I am not a fan of tomatoes (this makes my life extremely difficult and oh, how I wish things were different.) BUT - I do love apéro/apertivo/cocktail hour and an excellent playlist, so I will be putting this to use immediately.
My dear tomato-phobic friend, I think this pasta would be INSANE without tomatoes. I’d maybe increase the 🫒 a bit, or add in a second flavor/color olive, or capers? Thank you about the pics - honestly I feel like Liguria is very photogenic. Every time I go I take as many photos as the first time!!! Lmk what you think of the playlist 🥰🥰🥰
I’m with you, Julie!! I cannot do the mayo-laden pasta salads. When I told my mom about this recipe, she said she thought the new ketchup-mayo being sold in supermarkets would be delicious. I can never unhear that!!! 🤪
This sounds so delicious Lolly! A perfect cold pasta recipe for the summer.

I know it’s so sad 😭
SO sad!!!
Your turn of phrase gives me chills...but, it's true, your recipes can make pasta salad fell modern again

Hold the pasta, and I'll take the tomato part! I don't eat much pasta anyway. My summer menus are tomato-based! Looks fabulous!
I’m running over to yours for those tomato based yummy menus!!!
I love that playlist! I've been listening to a lot of Ennio Morricone lately
Fave EM song?
Metti una sera a cena!

(And your pictures are magical.)

I will!! I’m super excited to take it for a spin!
I’ll create something thematic just for the occasion. 🍾
Oohhhh yippeee! I’d originally wanted to work on a cocktail with you to go with it but then… everything last minute 😅🤓
One day we shall collab! Hopefully lakeside in Italy!
Siiiiiiii!
Ohh we haven’t been to Liguria yet. Looks so pretty ❤️
You will love it! The water is so cool and clear
Your summer sounds just wonderful Lolly. Lovely to see your holiday moments.
When summer comes, I’ll try your tempting recipe.
How is your summer shaping up weather-wise?
Well it’s midwinter in the tropics Lolly. 20 degrees Celsius in my kitchen at 9pm. It’s my happy time in the tropics.
Interesting. I will have to try this recipe. I have eaten pasta salad before and it's always terrible, but I want it to be good...
I agree. I tuoi all find it inedible but Italians won’t let that happen with their pasta. Plus - no mayo!!!
Yes no mayo! Same with potato salad, oil, vinegar, dry oregano, S&P, maybe some capers. Basta.
Now THAT is a recipe my friend!! 🥰🥰
Yum. Looks delicious. Also been making something similar for years trying to get away from mayo-heavy American pasta salads.
