Great recipe! But I personally found it a little too light so I added about a half can of tomato sauce and just about as much water (I eye-balled it, really) after draining and combining the veggies. After it was back at a boil, I let it simmer for a few minutes, stand to thicken, and finally added the cheese. My picky mother loved it!

Yummy! This recipe had loads of flavour & lots of colour - all round great recipe. I did, however, serve it cold for a family bbq. I rinsed the rotini (I used 6 cups dry pasta)& waited until it was completely cold before adding Tex-Mex cheese. I was unable to get fresh basil so I used 1 tsp of dried. I made this salad the night before.
