I have made this multiple times and it is so light and refreshing. Great with using lots of spinich from the garden. I even leave out the pasta if I don't have any. Great in the summer! Thanks :-)

I halved the recipe for lunch for DS and myself. I had some sun dried tomatoes on hand, and put them to use. Other than that made as posted. Enjoyed very much. Thanks Boomette :). Made for PRMR tag.

I halved this recipe and used jarred roasted red peppers. I used just a drizzle of Italian dressing in place of the olive oil/lemon juice because of convenience. Would definitely make this again since my 10 year old ate 3 bowls! Thanks for a great recipe :)

This is great! I used a goat cheese tortellini and it was wonderful! I might play around with the dressing next time to give it more of a punch of flavor but the lightness of the dressing as written is is also quite nice. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!!

Wonderful dinner, thanks Boomie ! I served this warm as it is close to winter here and not really salad weather. I did as another reviewer did and used sun dried tomatoes instead of bell pepper and the spinach came out of my garden. Made for the Pool Party tag game.
