::Cool Cucumber Pasta::

I'm pretty sure I've eaten more cucumbers this week then I have over my entire lifetime. Not even kidding. Fresh from the garden veggies are just so much more tastier than what you buy in the grocery store! My aunt had made this recipe for father's day and I knew I had to have the recipe; not only because it was super delicious but because I knew I would have alot of cucumbers from the garden. The cucumbers paired with the pasta and the sauce give it a hearty, yet resfreshing taste. Make this ahead of time so that it is able to sit in the fridge for a while until it is served. Enjoy!
