Mr. Food's Pizza Pasta Salad

Submitted by MrsKnox2016

"From the Mr. Food Website, passed on to me by a co-worker, but adjusted to fit my tastes (decreased oil, decreased cheese). So tasty, you won't believe that it's made from such simple ingredients. Perfect seasonings and done in a flash...even DH couldn't stop commenting on how tasty it was!"
