We didn't care for the flavor of the seasoning packet that came with the pasta salad mix (Betty Crocker Classic). But this recipe definitely has potential. I think we'll probably try it again without the pasta salad mix, just using plain pasta and Alfredo sauce. The fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and basil seem like they can do OK on their own without the seasoning packet.

This was very good. I was looking for something different in a pasta salad and this fit the bill. I followed the recipe as written other then I made my own alfredo sauce and used chicken I had precooked and had frozen in my freezer. I also used dried basil as I didn't have fresh and I didn't use 2 tablespoons of it, I used about 1/2 tsp.

I am 30 years old and I love to cook for my family of four.... I am married with two wonderful children.... That is them in the picture above.... It's a little old though.... Wesley will be five in June and Katelyn will be eight in June.... I'm always looking for new things to cook and try out on all of my family.... I'm also a teacher to 17 wonderful 3 yr. olds.... I'm always looking for quick, easy, and wonderful tasting food to fix that my whole family will enjoy... My husband is a picky meat and potatoes man.... SO, any time I fix something new that he likes, is amazing....
Wesley is like his daddy and loves to eat meat and potatoes, but he's also real good about trying other foods.... Katelyn, will eat whatever she can get her hands on....

For fun, I enjoy sewing, scrap booking, reading, and spending time with my kids. I also like to just sit and explore recipezaar.
