Italian Pasta Salad

This is doubly good because the pasta and veggies are marinated with Italian dressing, then drained and a mixture of mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese is added. Super delicious!

This was great! I made only used, tomatoes, red pepper, and olives. I also used Feta instead of Mozzarella. I've made this with both mayo and miracle whip. The mayo one is certainly more rich (and I think more delicious). As something of a compromise, I use half mayo half miracle whip and lots of Parmesan cheese. Really delicious!

    I made this a few days ago for a small potluck, and I got a lot of compliments. I made a double batch, so I had a ton left over and gave most of it to my family. My stepdad and younger sister absolutely LOVED it and requested that I make it again. Only thing that I did differently was leave out the olives & carrots and add cucumbers.

    This is a WONDERFUL pasta salad! The marinating overnight adds a very good flavor! A perfect combo of ingredients. If you want a mayo free salad, this is wonderful even before you add the mayo, so leave the mayo out if you want. I added 2 Tbl of McCormack Salad Supreme seasoning, because it adds a special flavor, in my opinion. Be sure to not overcook the pasta. I cooked mine for 9 minutes, which left it almost crunchy. By the time the marinating period was over, it was very soft. If you cook your noodles until they are done, you will end up with mush by the time you add the mayo and cheese. Thanks for a great and different recipe that was loved by all!

    This is my first time writing a review and I really enjoy everyone's feedback on dishes. It is extremely helpful and for that, thank you. Now on to the feedback, this was great! If you would like, serve the pasta salad the first night with Italian dressing without the mayo & cheese. Then, serve this a second time with the mayo, cheese and olives! Superb! Thanks for sharing.
