Bake At 350 suggested a shop for the pasta called Pasta Shoppe. They have the most beautiful pastas that you will ever see. So you can go to their website and order your pasta from them.
However, you can also just settle for the plain pasta you can buy from your local grocery. They will taste just fine for this salad recipe. The ones at Pasta Shoppe are just more colorful. It’s up to you!
Our friend over at Bake at 350 has this to say about the recipe:
“Sweet pasta salad. Maybe it sounds weird. Trust me on this. It is so incredibly yummy. After I took the pictures, I stood in my kitchen eating it straight out of the big pasta bowl. The dressing (cream, strawberries, vanilla, almond) tastes like strawberry ice cream. You need to try it. Promise.”
You have me convinced already! Even my family! This is perfect for guests too, I tell yah.
Ingredients
1 (14 oz.) package of pasta (from Pasta Shoppe or from your local grocery)
