Loved it! Served it at a party for 20 adults - a big hit! I used halved grape tomatoes and next time will put in more pepperoni (maybe thicker sliced and quartered - they wanted to stick together) and fresh mushrooms instead of jar. I used mini penne and it was really pretty. I served it well chilled (4 hours in fridge) but enjoyed it much more later on at the party when it was lukewarm. I don't think I'll make it ahead next time. But will definitely be making it again (and again and again) Read More

Good and easy pasta salad for any occassion...even dinner! I used fresh mushrooms and ommitted the olives and tomatoes (none available). Also I added ALMOST 1/4c of the dressing to the salad while refrigerating to keep the noodles from clumping together which I think enhanced the flavor. When it came time to serve added the remaining dressing and per the suggestion of a friend that was over I mixed in 1 TBLS of white sugar which added a very subtle touch of sweetness! Read More

i'm the one in the family that picks all the peppers out of supreme pizzas when we order them, but with this recipe i really enjoyed all the flavors! i enjoyed it without the dressing mixed in, but either way is good. i added in some chopped salami for another flavor. i also warmed some boboli bread in the oven, and we had a complete meal. very versatile to meet your own preferences. easy and quick to put together. delicious!

Even my picky husband loved this! I used spiral pasta and I omitted the oregano (husband doesn't like it) and it turned out excellent. Will definitely be using this recipe again. I also used 2 cups of mozzerella cheese and I used a Safeway Select brand of Italian dressing called Parmesan & Herb. Was fantastic! Highly recommended! Read More

I made this with a few alterations for a potluck at my work. I added yellow bell pepper to the green and red added a cucumber used a red onion rather than green onions added green olives to the black olives omitted the mushrooms and mozzarella and probably used more than 2 tbsp of parmesan cheese. Everyone at work raved over this salad - there were no leftovers. I'm sure that I'll be asked to bring it again. Read More
