Ok my Aunt Linda asked me to post a recipe for my pasta salad. I have no set recipe so just be creative with your own taste. I used 1/2 box bowtie pasta, 1/2 box rotoni noodles and one package of dried cheese tortellini noodles. Cook these til tender and pour over into a big bowl of icewater to chill and stop cooking process While pasta is cooling cut up whatever you want to put in your salad. I used bell peppers, fresh mushrooms, cherry tomatoes(cut in 1/2), crinkle cut raw carrots(cut in 1/2), shredded colby/jack cheese, pepperoni slices(cut in 1/2), black olive slices, raw cauliflower and broccoli chunks(not to big), and celery. Drain the pasta really well(I use a mesh collander). Put pasta in large bowl and mix in veggies. This is where the personal flavors really come in i use one bottle of zesty Italian dressing. Then shake Mrs Dash, black pepper, and garlic salt on and stir. Just do a little at a time and then taste til you get the flavor you want. I am a taster when I cook. Then just cover and chill in frig so flavors marry. Time to enjoy so eat up! Yummy!
