No-Cook Pasta Sauce Ideas For Easy Weeknight Meals

Some of the most flavorful dishes are made with just a few ingredients. This idea is at the heart of so many of your favorite Italian recipes.

Whether it’s summer and you’re trying to limit stovetop time or you’re looking for easy weeknight meal ideas, we’ve got a list of easy pasta recipes to share. For these recipes, cooked pasta is tossed with a few flavorful ingredients—like pesto sauce, cheese or fresh tomatoes—and the heat from the noodles bring it all together. Cooking can sometimes take away from the bold, bright flavors of certain foods, so when we can, we love creating no-cook pasta sauces that feature fresh ingredients.
