A great light and fresh tasting pasta salad. It's great to find one that doesn't contain mayo for a change. I did add an extra clove of fresh crushed garlic to the dressing as the boiled garlic didn't have much flavour left in it. I used chopped seeded tomato instead of the cherry tomatoes as it was all I had and added a little bit of chopped yellow capsicum too. I was serving a very fussy eater who loved it and came back for more the next day! A keeper recipe.

This has to be the best pasta salad I've ever tasted and how a pasta salad is meant to be made. The addition of the garlic is truly inspired and it is so subtle but lifts the recipe to a another level. It tastes so fresh and alive in your mouth, no prepacked ingredients just beautiful fresh produce you can't go wrong. Use your best extra virgin olive oil for this one. Thanks Mirj, this is now my favourite salad.

This is a great salad I needed a salad I could make ahead so when company comes I don't have so much to do at the last minute. This salad exceeded my expectations! It is simple, elegant, tasty, quick, and can be made in advance. I served this salad cold and I added some fresh broccoli florets. I used grape tomatoes cut in half and left out the yellow tomatoes.

I loved this pasta salad. I'm used to heavy, thick italian dressings on pasta salad, so this was light and delicious. I've only made it once, and think the 7 tbs of extra virgin olive oil might be a little too much. So next time i'll cut that back a little. I would suggest starting out with 5-6, then tasting as you go. But overall, looked beautiful, deliciously light. I added fresh broccoli and fresh yellow squash instead of olives and cucumbers.
In my opinion, the fresh garlic and basil is key!

After reading such great reviews, I had high hopes for this pasta salad and I really tried to like it. The ingredients sounded like a delicious combination when I read them, however, I found this to be extremely bland. I used good summer produce from my local organic farmer's market and a good quality olive oil. There was really just no taste or flavor at all. Neither my husband or my 4 year old (who LOVES pasta salad) liked it either.

I loved this salad! I doubled the garlic, left out the cucumber and olives, and added colored capsicum and baby mozzarella. Yum - thanks Mirj!!

A bit bland for my taste. The dressing would be much better with a green salad, I think.

Very light and yummy. I wanted to give it a bit more flavor so I added a couple extra cloves of raw garlic & some anchovies to the dressing. A healthy winner!

I made this pasta for a BBQ - it was so simple yet wonderfully refreshing to taste. A great dish to serve to the crowds.

I have made this recipe multiple times and have been very pleased with it each time. I add small fresh mozzarella balls (sometimes cut in half) and I also add chopped yellow and orange bell pepper. I have doubled the recipe and it's worked great. We will continue to make this great recipe.

This made a great summer supper! I accidentally overcooked the garlic - which toned down the flavour slightly (the garlic flavour definitely enhances the dish), but it was still good. I also used about half the quantities of oil and vinegar (I think 7 tablespoons would have been way too much). I served with spelt shell pasta which lent a nice nutty flavour to the dish. Super easy and delicious!

I also added broccli florets and left out the yellow tomatoes. I used bowtie pasta instead of small shells. It was great, the flavors were mellow and it looked beautiful.
