I made this for a baby shower. Excellent. It made more than enough. Like others, one bottle of dressing is more than enough. I also used 1 can of slice black olives and 1 lb of shrimp. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty easy to make, and quick, if you're in a hurry. I prefer A Twist on Pasta Salad, from this site, which doesn't use bottled dressing, and is a lot healthier. Thanks!

This was a great recipe; but for me it could not be complete without tons of crispy snow peas! Adding these is a must, so try it!

So healthy and delicious. You can add and subtract the veggies you want. I only used one bottle of dressing and that was perfect.

The reason for the 4 stars is due to the fact that it calls for so much dressing. As many have said, 2 bottles is overkill. I actually only used 3/4 of a bottle and allowed guest to add more to fit their tastes. I added red peppers, and corn and it was lovely. With those adjustments, I loved this recipe.

I'm giving this recipe 4 stars as is. With a few minor adjustments this is definitely a 5 star recipe and very similar to my mom's pasta salad. Two bottles of dressing is overkill. You definitely only need one! I also omit the carrots, celery, and bell peppers. I substitute swiss cheese for parmesan cheese. I also added chopped pieces of pepperoni and hard salami and 1 can of sliced black olives. One of my favorites.

Made it with red oninons, black olives, broccoli, and grape tomatoes and I only used one bottle of dressing and that seemed to be enough. I made it for a bbq and it was all gone. My father-in-law said he went back for 3rds and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Used bowtie pasta instead of corkscrew, so the two bottles of dressing made it very soup-like.

Kraft makes a Tuscan House Italian dressing. It tastes SO much better than most. It doesn't have that bitter aftertaste.

I just finished making this and used only 3/4 bottle of dressing. But I also find something is missing, maybe it is pepper. Think I will toss in some more parm. It is a keeper though. Thanks L.Gale

I used Romano cheese and bottled Italian salad dressing, adding enough dressing to season until I was leaving for get together and then added more, as it had all been soaked up by pasta, and carried in a large zip loc bag. The cheese adds a salty flavor so be careful if you season. I cut grape tomatoes in half and also added broccoli florets and black olives to other veggies. Quick and easy. Loved it.

So good! Used only 1 bottle of Italian salad dressing. I think that the key flavoring came from the dressing, which was a special mix from trader joes. Also doubled parm cheese. Everyone at the BBQ raved about this recipe

Great recipe. I made a lot of changes, but it's a good recipe that can be customized easily. I only used one bottle of dressing after reading other reviews, and it was plenty. I used fat free Italian and added more right before serving because it dried up a little. For vegetables, I used carrots, cucumbers, green peppers, and red peppers. Everyone loved it! I'll definitely make it again, maybe switch up some of the ingredients next time.

Great salad - I cut the Italian dressing in half, as well, and added blue cheese crumbles, provolone cheese chunks and bacon bits which all added a ton of flavor!! YUM!! (I also left out the onions, but that's just a personal preference)
