There’s just something about layered recipes in a trifle dish that feels extra fun for summer gatherings. 😍 This BLT Pasta Trifle is one of those easy recipes that looks way fancier than the effort it takes. Perfect for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, cookouts, showers, or pool parties.
And don’t worry… you absolutely do NOT need a trifle dish to make this. A regular bowl works perfectly fine — I just love the look of the layers in clear glass. I’ll link the trifle dish I use because I also make my angel food cake berry trifle in it too and use it all summer long.
