I've had this recipe saved for quite awhile and chose it for my first time use of ancini di pepe. It was very easy to put together and tasted just as fresh a few days later (without needing more dressing). I halved the dressing amount and it was enough. We were not used to the round shape of the pasta but after a few days of eating, no one batted an eye. We are not fans of cous cous and we had to mentally get over that they are not the same grain. Thanks Ingy, for posting. Roxygirl

Very fresh and tasty. At first I thought that the dressing seemed too plain but it is just right for this salad. It gives it all a bit of "zing". Have made it twice already and the only change I made was to half the oil and vinegar using 1/4cup of each and then also using 1tsp salt. Very pleased to have found this and that I chose it for PAC Spring '07. Thanks a lot for posting.

I've just returned to the States after living in Japan for 2 years and am undergoing some major life changes.
It's great to be able to buy good coffee, licorice and tortillas again!

Ratings:
I often give 4 or 5 star ratings, but I usually only try recipes that I know I'll like.
5 Stars - it was fantastic and I wouldn't change a thing.
4 stars - it's a very good recipe, will make again but changed it just a little.
3 stars - it was an okay recipe, but there were things I'd definitely change if I made it again.
2 stars - the recipe really didn't impress us much (by us I mean the hubby and myself)
1 star - there might have been something wrong with the recipe posting to begin with, because it was a complete failure (I haven't had any of these!)
