Italian Crab Seafood Pasta Salad

I admit it I love food! I love to cook and I love to eat and it seems as of late I have been spending a good deal of time trying new recipes. I came across this one and thought after giving it a taste test that I should share it with all of you. It will be great for those hot summer days when you just don’t feel like having a hot meal.

I hope you will give it a try…gustare!

This is cruel…I’m sitting here eating my muffin thingy and reading this recipe. Maybe if I post it on the fridge as a lunch hint?
