  • How To Make the Easiest Pasta Salad. Your lunch game will infinitely improve if you make a big batch of this classic pasta salad on Sunday and bring it along with you throughout the week.
  • Orzo Tabbouleh. While tabbouleh salad is usually made with bulgur wheat, orzo is a fun and easy swap-in, since you probably already have it in your pantry.
  • Pasta with Feta, Broccoli, and Sausage. Since this pasta calls for pre-cooked sausage, it comes together quickly. It also holds up well in the fridge since it includes sturdy ingredients like broccoli and feta.
  • Antipasti Bar Pasta. The best part about this pasta is how customizable it is: Take a stroll through your grocery store’s antipasti bar and make it your own.
  • Pesto Tortellini Pasta Salad. This four-ingredient pasta salad comes together is just about the time it takes to boil a pot of water and cook the tortellini.
  • Turkey and Greens Skillet Pasta. Cook up this spicy, smoky pasta for dinner tonight and then set aside the leftovers for a comforting, protein-rich lunch tomorrow.
  • BLT Pasta Salad. To keep this pasta salad at its freshest, reserve the baby spinach and toss it in when you’re packing your lunch in the morning — that way it won’t wilt too much.
  • Greek Chicken Pasta with Olives and Feta. If you want to make this recipe extra easy on yourself, pick up a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the meat yourself.
  • Orzo with Butternut Squash, Spinach, and Blue Cheese. This satisfying pasta is fun to play around with: Swap the squash in for sweet potato, try baby kale instead of spinach, or opt for goat cheese instead of blue cheese.
  • Greek Pasta Salad. This pasta salad has all the classic elements of Greek salad — the juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, briny olives, and salty feta — yet it feels a little more hearty, thanks to the shells.
