Bright & Breezy Pasta Recipes for Your Next Garden Party
Spring calls for a lighter hand in the kitchen. Pasta becomes less about richness and more about balance—sweet peas, tender greens, citrus, and olive oil doing most of the work.
These recipes lean into that shift. They’re simple enough for weeknights, but thoughtful enough to serve when others gather around your table.
From weeknight spaghetti to feasts for the family, pasta night begins here.
