  1. Loved it! I think this recipe is definitely as good as your ingredients. I made it with a parmesan from the jar. Next time I will use freshly grated as the recipe says. I used LARGE pinches of the herbs, we like things flavorful, and I added chopped tomato and black olives. Thought about Red Pepper but passed on it, though may try another time. Thanks for a great recipe that would go with a large variety of Summer Fare. This will become a Tried and True at my house!
     
  2. My husband absolutely LOVED this pasta salad. I used 16 oz. of Rotini pasta and added a little extra mayo because of the extra pasta. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. This was good, but a little bland for me. The color even looked bland; might try again and add some chopped tomato, red peppers, green onions, etc to add a little more color and flavor.
     
  4. This pasta tasted great! I had been looking for a pasta salad recipe and this one is definitely a keeper. Will definitely make again although I would only add half the olive oil to make less greasy. Otherwise great recipe!
     
  5. we LOVED this! I used whole wheat penne. It went great with a roast done on the rotisserie. Lots of compliments. The next day, I re-worked the leftovers into a main dish.....I added a can of albacore tuna, a can of cannelinni beans, and some broccoli. We had to add a bit more mayo, cheese and basil.....but it was FABULOUS light meal.
