Collegiate Tailgate Pasta Salads

Tennessee Pasta Salad

College Football. An American Tradition. Big Game Day Celebrations. Collegiate Tailgate Pasta Salads? Why not.  #ncaanoodles.  The school colors make their way into all kinds of fashions…have you seen the Collegiate Cowboy boots? I can’t believe I want some. There is college fashion for cars, for dogs, for ALMOST ANYTHING you can imagine! The Collegiate craze is stronger than ever and this is the time of year when it is at its height of craziness.  Note: my college had no football team (University of Vermont)…what was I thinking? <SMH>

Big Orange Pasta Salad

Tennessee Big Orange Pasta Salad

 

After John and I started our company with Music City Pasta, we got to thinkin’…hmmmmm…what other shapes could we create here in Tennessee that would strike a chord (shameless pun for Music City…. Couldn’t help it! 🙂 and get people excited to buy pasta? We had just moved back to Nashville and were experiencing the whole SEC Southern football madness. It was fun. It was nuts. It wasn’t what was happening when we were living in NYC. And we knew immediately what would be our next 2 product introductions: Vanderbilt and UT Pasta.

Florida Pasta Salad

Why not give the rabid loyal fans something to take to their tailgate parties that would represent their teams? And not just in color…but in the shape of their mascot or logo! People loved it…and our Collegiate Pasta line was born.

Gator Pasta Salad

Florida Gator Pasta Salad

 

Our Collegiate Pasta Salad line consists of over 50 Universities. Each one is officially licensed and contains mascot or logo shaped pasta plus a Game Day Vinaigrette mix. NOTE: To make this recipe you MUST have a bag of Collegiate Pasta which includes our vinaigrette mix packet!

Alabama Pasta Salad

Why then post this recipe? Well, we get lots of calls from fans who have torn off their label and can’t find the recipe. And it’s usually Friday before the Saturday game…so what happens if we miss the call or have left the office?  Yay – this post – it will now always be available!

Roll Tide Pasta Salad

Alabama Roll Tide Pasta Salad

 

So, assuming you have a bag and the mix, this is one easy recipe. In just a few minutes you’ll have the hit of the tailgate party. Add red wine vinegar and oil for the dressing. And three other additions is all that is needed. Cucumber – check! Colored Peppers (matching your team of course) – check! Red onion – check! A yummy sweet and sour pasta salad combination with crunch and color – touchdown! And as a bonus there are three other recipe options printed on the inside of the label. I hope your tailgate fun continues and you share lots of wins, laughs, and memories with your family and friends! Please share this post and let me know what is your tailgate “necessity” when it comes to good food on game day!

West Virginia Pasta Salad

West Virginia Mountaineers Pasta Salad

 

Note: You are probably happy if your team is featured in the pictures. Believe me, it wasn’t easy choosing who to highlight. And I can’t win. So I surrender. If your team is not here…please forgive me. And I promise I will be posting others as this blog adventure continues!

If you are interested in seeing all of our pasta shapes, you can visit The Pasta Shoppe website.  And if you have any fundraising needs, please check out Fun Pasta Fundraising!  We’d love to hear from you!

    Dear pastabilities,
    By any chance do you sell pasta for the University of Texas, the Longhorns? Would definitely be the hit of the parties and tailgating.
    Hook ’em!

    • carey on December 28, 2023 at 2:26 pm

      We no longer make the Collegiate Pasta! So sorry to disappoint you! We do have Tailgate Pasta…not quite the same but still fun!

  2. Matt on September 27, 2016 at 7:54 am

    Where is Tennessee in the fundraising packet? My daughter brought the packet home last night and I was blown away that Tennessee was not included. Tennessee is 4-0 and just beat Florida. I feel like it is going to be difficult explaining why there is no TN to everyone that we approach.

    • carey on September 27, 2016 at 11:03 am

      Hey Matt!
      We are in Tennessee and are huge Vol fans too! Unfortunately, we had to scale back our Collegiate offering to only 20 schools due to licensing challenges…and Tennessee is not licensed anymore. So sorry! We do have our new Tailgate and Celebrate Pasta Salads in team colors – Orange included of course – on page 9…These are footballs and helmets in orange and plain pasta plus the same yummy vinaigrette mix as the Collegiate! So you can still celebrate at the orange tailgate! Let me know if you have any more questions…hopefully that explains it somewhat! What a great game last week….my husband and youngest son are headed to Athens for the GA game! GBO! Carey

  3. Carolyn on May 27, 2016 at 7:10 pm

    I made the Mizzou pasta for a graduation party. I used regular vinegar (didn’t have an red wine vinegar) and added small cubes of cheese, grape tomatoes, and LOTS of BACON!! Delicious!!

    • carey on May 29, 2016 at 10:09 am

      So happy you loved it! You can’t use enough bacon! 🙂

  4. Shelley on February 13, 2016 at 11:13 pm

    I was in a store selling your pasta today and saw the Tennessee and Virginia pasta. I was excited to see this blog with the mountaineers pasta as well, but I’m unable to find it for sale on your site. Is this no longer available??

    • carey on February 14, 2016 at 10:19 am

      Shelley, I’ll email you a more detailed answer – but yes West Virginia is still available, but only through our fundraising division!

  5. Becky (The Cookie Rookie) on October 20, 2014 at 3:37 pm

  20. Nicole Shaw on September 17, 2014 at 9:28 pm

    I want some salad made with my own Iowa Hawkeye noodles! These are so cool. It would be really fun to make one salad with both Hawkeyes and Badgers to represent our house divided.






    • carey on September 17, 2014 at 9:46 pm

      Always fun to have some competition – and we do have both teams!

      Love the thought…and agree wholeheartedly!

  23. Amy Villeneuve on September 17, 2014 at 8:34 pm

  38. Robin Cornelius on September 17, 2014 at 7:25 pm

    I love that Alabama Roll Tide pasta! I love Bama and I am tickled pink that they make Bama pasta, in my house we have a Texas Longhorn fan and me with my love for Bama. So I say Roll Tide and I totally need these to shut my hubby up and show him who the best team is…lol 🙂 I love making a ranch pasta salad for game days, I use pasta (hopefully now Roll Tide pasta) some shredded carrots, green olives chopped up, bacon crumbles, 1 cup of mayo and 1 and 1/2 cup of Ranch dressing powder. It makes for a yummy all in one pasta salad.






    • carey on September 17, 2014 at 9:55 pm

      YUM!! I want to try that – sounds easy and delish! Just up my alley! Thank you!

    • carey on September 17, 2014 at 6:48 pm

      Well, we once used all natural vegetable powders but the colors fade….fans demanded COLOR – so we use food coloring….think of cupcakes….they are bright but really do look good and stand out a your tailgate!

  85. christina radcliff on September 17, 2014 at 5:56 pm

      I agree, or you could slice up those brauts and mix them in with the pasta salad.
