Pasta does not always need to be served with heavy sauces and a lot of cheese. Sometimes we can celebrate the pure taste of the raw vegetables. With just a few fresh ingredients, you can create a delicious pasta salad. 

These cold sauce goes well with any kind of pasta. Choose the one kind you like the most or make your own pasta. In each case, the sauce will be the star of the dish. It so fresh, full of flavor and healthy.

And if you really cannot imagine eating pasta without your favorite cheese, then sprinkle a little bit of Parmesan cheese on top or add small pieces of mozzarella.
