Now that the weather’s warming up, it’s time to gear up for backyard grill outs, picnics and patio parties! Yes, I might be a bit early, but positive thinking never hurt.

So to celebrate, I thought it was only appropriate to offer up some pasta, tossed in a bowl with a bunch of tangy goat cheese, fresh garden veggies and parmesan cheese. That’s right, I am sharing what will become your favorite summer pasta salad.
