I maid this Recipe a hand full of times . I have served it hot and cold. It is quick and easy to make . I have also put some black olives in it . I also have not put it fresh basil because I do not have it on hand all the time.

This was amazing! I dont think I ever need to go to BJ's to get my favorite pasta again, because this replaced it! I chopped 1 1/2 tomatoes instead of grape tomatoes, and I didnt have fresh basil, so I just used dry, and added to my taste. I don't eat leftovers, and we had it again the next night

LOVE this recipe!!! Not a favorite with my kids though, (but they are picky). I like to add sliced grilled chicken breast.

This recipe is so easy and really good. I prepared this for our womens group at church and I had so many ladies ask for the recipe before they left that day.

I make this for my family all the time -- we LOVE it... I add a few hot pepper flakes to the dressing, and we NEVER have leftovers. (I love it because it's soooo easy to make!)
