    Creamy Garlic Penne Pasta is a very good side dish. Some members say it lacks in flavour which is correct. Young children will like the dish as written. If feeding adults kick it up! It is not a "Portable Summer Sides" dish. This dish must be mixed & served immediately.

    Hmm..you are right that it says serve immediately, but the chef posted it in the to go/portable category so that is why we included it. Either way...looks like a great, indulgent side dish!

    It is a good recipe Liza just needs to be served warm. As I posted it does lack in flavour but I am sure an 8yr. old would disagree. I kick it up with herbs/spice. It is a nice easy peasy dish to serve with grilled chicken & a salad during the summer.

    I had to look twice at the picture featured above and on main page....a potato salad with big slices of cucumber? At first I thought the wrong pic was posted for recipe, but nope, slices of cucumber. Ugh...not very appetizing looking...should've used a recipe for fried chicken or something for picnic recipes, imo.

    The featured photo had the opposite affect on me. I love potato salads, but not the calories. So, to see a potato salad recipe with ingredients like cucumbers, which are light and so yummy...it really caught my interest! I guess that we both felt the need to comment on it is great.
