If you’re craving a fresh, light seafood dinner that’s easy to make and bursting with flavor, this Pasta with Sautéed Calamari is a must-try. This pasta is one of my husband’s and our boys’ all-time favorites—and once you taste it, you’ll see why. It’s simple, satisfying, and comes together in under 30 minutes.
Happy Friday people… I am always looking forward to Fridays, and most of the time I make pasta for dinner. So how does this look to Y’all? Good, I assume! Before I start blabbering how good this is, I just want to say that this read more
I might be addicted to anything carbolicious, but that’s a simply comfort food for me. This Greek Pasta salad is one of those amazing comfort meals that I really enjoy.
I really don’t know what I would do if I have to give up on carbs. It might as well be the end of the world. Just kiddin’ (but not really)!
Anyhow, I love mixing veggies together with pasta for a simple lunch or dinner. I make it often, even for school lunch boxes, as well as when we travel.
Usually, I talk to my kids the night before to see what they would like to add and most of the time we build a salad together.
One thing that they love is adding grilled chicken or even smoked cubed ham as well as Canadian bacon.
Doesn’t that sound amazingly delicious? Mmhm! Yes, pasta salads are so versatile.
Today, we are keeping it meatless and it is still pretty balanced despite the pasta. As I said, we can build pasta salad however we like and what, and it will always be delicious.
Also, I plan in advance our pasta salads, for example, if we going to grill I would make pasta salad with tons of veggies, or if I am packing pasta salad for lunch most likely I would add grilled chicken.
Anyhow, everything that I added to this delicious pasta works amazingly perfect together. This is me trying to make fusion, Greek salad.
I think it is a pretty beautiful and colorful pasta so go and make it for your family and friends, for your birthday celebration or any other gatherings.
If you are sensitive to gluten, by all means, use gluten-free pasta or whole wheat. Pasta such as rigatoni, bow tie, macaroni, fusilli, etc., would work perfectly too.
The key is in the dressing and it is such a simple dressing that I use in most of my salads.

If you never had Baked Pasta with Pepperoni, then you are missing out big time. It is like having pizza but in pasta form… mindblowing!
One thing that was happy news, well, my hubs and I just celebrated last weekend our anniversary.
Yup! 14 years, already; the only thing that I could say is that I couldn’t have a better partner and a friend… I am truly blessed.
The best part is that he is always there when I need a shoulder to lean on. Time is really flying, although I do have a daily reminder when I look at my kids. Knock on the wood, they are growing so fast, too fast!
When my family needs quick comfort food this meal saves me. Especially on those busy nights when I do not want to spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen slaving over the stove.
You can add leftover chicken, hard or Genoa salami, or sauteed ground beef instead of the pepperoni.
Let me just be clear here, I am not a huge fan of pepperoni. I rather go for a real sauteed ground beef, but whoever tried this combo was in love, so I continued making it with pepperoni for years.
Another thing is that you can use your favorite pasta sauce instead of the Alfredo sauce.
However, if you ask me, I am a sucker for creamy yummy pasta especially with loads of cheese. Anyhow, just be creative, use what you like, or have in your pantry.
You may layer it, cheese it and bake it. It is most certainly done quickly. Also, your family will be definitely happy and not fuss over dinner.
You could serve it with fresh vegetables, or a bowl of mixed greens.

Quick and easy family dinner idea.
You can add any cheese that you would prefer, and of course any amount. If you are serving it to more people, just increase the number of ingredients.
You may use other types of pasta, also gluten-free is fantastic.
It stores well over-night in the fridge. Preheat, to heat it again
