Notes

  • You can serve this antipasto platter warm or cold. So not only is it great for the BBQ, think picnics and beach food, potlucks and any outdoor fun.
  • Also, you can make different versions of it every time and it’ll feel almost like a new recipe with every variation you make to it!
  • I personally prefer no meats added to this pasta, but if you’re into salami and cold cuts, you'll find it might taste even better!
