I've been making this pasta salad for years - it's one of my favorites! There are a lot of variations: You can add a little crushed red pepper for a kick, use a different variety of italian dressing, use frozen broccoli, use raw zuchinni or yellow squash, etc. It's a really great dish! I usually add some dressing when I make it, then add the remaining dressing to taste right before serving (otherwise, it seems to absorb to much of the sauce).
