Friends, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite go to lunch idea – creamy basil pasta! As you know we are a large family; therefore, I love preparing simple dishes that are very tasty and filling, but most of all quick. I must say that my all time favorite lunch for the kids is the creamy basil pasta. The combination of fresh tomatoes with basil and the cream cheese is simply devine! It takes approximately twenty minutes to put together which gives your kiddos plenty of time to sit down and enjoy this delicious meal.

I love pasta with avocado and basil sauce, but over the years, since the flavor has gotten a bit overpowering, I've been adding lemon juice; But adding ponzu brought the flavors together and it was tasty The tartness of the tomatoes is also a perfect match. I use my own recipe for the basil sauce.Adjust the amount of basil sauce to taste. Since the flavor of store-bought basil sauce varies, you may need to add more flavor with grated cheese and a pinch of consommé stock granules. It's also tasty if you chop up a small pat of cream cheese and mix it into the pasta. Recipe by putimiko

I aimed for cool, spicy and refreshing flavors in this chilled pasta that's perfect for the summertime.The tomatoes are used in the sauce and as topping. Onions are sautéed in olive oil twice. The potatoes, tuna-mayo and tomato sauce are chilled. The key is to chill things down and cook things as efficiently as possible! Recipe by Musashi

I'm not a big fan of eating the same meals day after day. Which is how I worked out a good recipe for a double serving of creamy pasta salad (or a large single serving). I use whole grain pasta, to up the nutrition a little and to make it more filling. It makes a great lunch.
