Wasn't expecting to have to come to terms with my mortality when I clicked on this video.

My mum made homemade macaroni and cheese that started with a bechamel and had extra old canadian cheddar, cheese slices, cottage cheese, sour cream and "half an onion" per the recipe. I remember being a little kid and asking her why only half, and she said, 'you're right', and after that..a whole onion. I have the recipe. She still makes it better.

I made it today for my husband for Fathers Day and it was a HIT! He kept picking at it while we were cleaning up 🤣 You are such staple in our kitchen. I love how I am able to use all the herbs from my garden. The flavors work so well together. Thanks Carla!

I love that my people named pasta after a radiator. They're spot on with their descriptions.

That is my fave all purpose pasta shape! I also enjoy wagon wheels in a salad like this because its easy to stab and stack other large chunks onto a fork.

"as the clock ticks down on our time on earth" - i think i need this on a shirt

[lavenderamberli]

I'm totally making this!!! It looks incredible!

[kathleenryan]

I love your recipes, but the way you make it fun and enjoyable is the best!

[JordanGardner-ct]

I’ve been waiting for a pasta salad video from you thank you queen! We have been blessed🙏

[fabiolemes]

Carla, you are killing it on the nail art department.

[robertisaiah]

My girl Carla has done it yet again! ❤

[avatarnemo]

I love when tomatoes are in season! I'm curious about the different types, could you do a tomato video on varieties we may see at grocery stores or farmers' markets? I see "heirloom" and "beefsteak" but not sure what's the best way to use each type

[melissalandreth]

UGH! I love this recipe! 🙏🍅🌿

And I love you!

[MB-gmyw]

Literally made this yesterday and once again, another life changing recipe. You can do no wrong, miss Carla!!

[katl]

Love that lipstick color 💄 thanks for the recipe, pasta salads are awesome summer food!!

[cookinthekitchen]

I love cold pasta salads, thanks Carla

[JillFriedman]

I make a very lazy version of this with gluten free pasta for potlucks/picnics. I find because it's cold, the gluten free pasta gets to a really nice texture that makes it suitable for everyone. (I'm not gluten free, I just hate knowing those who are often get shortchanged at those events.)

[marlastoner]

Wow this is so good!! ❤❤ I cheated a bit and skipped the marinading step… whipped it up while I watched the video and OMG soo delish quick and easy. Cant imagine how good it is after you let it sit.

[idaslapter]

Carla, how do you feel about adding either some sliced olives to this or some marinated artichokes?

[ruthg]

Looks delightful! I'm feeling a bit extra so i think i'll be adding black olives and capers to mine but this is such a great base to riff off of. I also used pickled red onion instead of standard (as its soaked in vinegar anyway) so I guess I'll see how that turns out...!xD
