Hi Friends! I hope this week finds you well! Things are heating up here and we are enjoying the longer days. We just got back from a little trip, so I am only in the mood to make some easy stovetop dinners, and today's recipe is just that.

Made with the curly Cavatappi pasta, it makes for a fun and festive dinner idea.

I do not usually cook with Cavatappi, but it was at my grocery store and I thought I would try it.

Also known as Pasta Cavatappi, this easy meal comes together in minutes and it is perfect for a weekend or weeknight dinner idea. I love using summer vegetables such as zucchini and peppers in this summer dinner idea. I like to keep it light with all of the colorful vegetables and omitting any heavy cream sauces.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
