Summer is pasta salad season. Fresh strawberries, tangy balsamic dressing, leafy spinach, and creamy feta cheese are all brought together by Barilla’s Protein+ Pasta.

A trick to cooking the pasta for pasta salad is following the package directions. Drain the pasta (do not rinse), and spread out the pasta on a large sheet pan. Toss with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. This will allow the pasta to cool and not overcook.
