"This is my go-to pasta salad recipe for a crowd! It's great for showers, picnics, parties, you name it! My mother-in-law taught me to make it. It is easy and very versatile. Today I made it for an event, and I decided to keep track of the measurements so that it could be shared with others who may need a large crowd pasta salad recipe. Hope you enjoy! Better when refrigerated overnight."

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- You can use any semi-hard cheese for this; you can either cube or crumble it.
- You may prefer to cut any remaining stems off of the broccoli florets.
- Variations: Add canned chicken, season with hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce, for an easy, complete light meal. Use half salt and half seasoned salt for more flavor. For prettier presentation, use as many colors as possible. Try Colby Jack cheese or other vegetables of your choosing. Use light dressing or half garden rotini/half whole wheat rotini for healthier options.
