Me again...

Don't know where the question marks came from. I typed a long hyphen.

Made this twice for a big gathering over the weekend. The first version by following the recipe exactly. It was OK.

I liked the concept and had to make a second batch, so made it again with a bit of a twist ? I made a basic Italian salad dressing from scratch and added some great olives from an Italian deli.

Everyone definitely liked the second version better. The dressing had more depth and was tastier with the veggies and pasta. Be sure to use a quality imported Parmigiano-Reggiano and really good olive oil for the dressing ? makes all the difference.

A pesto vinaigrette would work really well with this too!

I would love to know the nutritional facts of this recipe.

A fresh and deliciously easy recipe. Just add a little garlic to the dressing.

Just read the other ratings; 1.5 pounds of dry pasta is WAAAAY over kill. One pound at the very most.

SERIOUSLY GOOD EATS. Only thing I do to 'Kick it up a knotch' is (at the very end of the pasta boil) is toss in a bag of frozen mixed veggies. You want them cooked, but crunchie. Too much? Not to worry, this dish freezes very well. Micro wave to warm and 'dig in' for a quick lunch.

This pasta salad is excellent & serves a large group. The 1-1/2 pounds (24 oz.) of pasta is correct. A serving of pasta is 2 oz., since the recipe feeds 12, 24 oz. is the right amount. Hope this helps.

I read it as one half pound of pasta? Looks delicious....
