This is a really good recipe. These are the changes I made. Instead of dried basil I used fresh basil, I think it adds a little bit more to the flavor. I also really like tomatoes so I added a little more than a cup of tomatoes.

Perfect basic recipe for success. Thank you! I've made this three different ways now based on what is in my garden. My best so far is 2 leaves fresh basil , 1/2 julienned red onion and less pepper, and 8 oz. Ciliegine mozzarella balls. I like to chop the broccoli up really small and the tomatoes really big. Undercook the noodles and go ahead and marinate this one.

Very good. Used italilian salad dressing and worked out very well. So easy to add what ever vegetables you have on hand.

This is wonderful! And I've used the same recipe without the pasta, adding whatever fresh vegetables I have. Black beans, broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, grean beans. 5 STARS!

Very good recipe! I love that it's low fat and not too much oil. I used a tablespoon less red wine vinegar, added a sliced cucumber and used feta cheese. I ate a bowl right away but I can't wait for the flavors to meld for this weekend.

I added a little more sugar to the dressing (i prefer things a little sweeter) and mixed in some cubed chicken breast. Next time i will add maybe a half cup more cooked pasta. There was just a little bit too much dressing. Otherwise this was great!

This is a delicious recipe, and easy to work from. I am allergic to garlic so I have to find other ways to spice up my food, and I was lacking the vegetables called for so I improvised. For spices, I added black pepper, cayenne pepper, ground mustard, dried parsley and dried oregano in equal parts to the basil called for. I had a green pepper on hand, so I subbed that out for the red pepper, and added diced white onion and diced cucumbers for crunch. My tomatoes were no good but I would try adding them next time, the sweetness might add a nice depth.
