I loved this recipe and it was so quick and easy to make! I added pignoli nuts and a little extra olive oil.

WOW!! I can not even express in writing how good this pasta salad was!! I am a picky vegetarian who lives in a house full of carnivores and everyone LOVED it!!!!! The only thing I added was a bit of melted butter right before serving! It was superb, it was excellent!! Thank you!

moving-out-of-apartment-use-up-what's-in-my-cabinets-recipe: used whole bag spinach, added olive oil, sliced olives, grated parmesan instead of feta, and of course, plenty of sea salt, no dill - turned out terrific!
