Creamy Pasta Salad

With warm weather having arrived, invitations to cookouts and barbecues will soon start filling your calendar. Well, this is a perfect recipe to bring as a side dish. It's a creamy pasta salad with a kick of garlic flavor. Can't beat that!

This has been my go-to pasta salad recipe for years. It doesn't have any fancy ingredients and most people will willingly give it a try, which is always a bonus when you're bringing food to an event. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. ;-)

3 Tbsp parsley (or to taste)
