Brought it to a small party and everyone loved! I added some chopped Turkey Bacon and it added a nice flavor.

Had some leftover rotini pasta in the fridge and some lives on teh shelf, so thought I would search for a pasta salad recipe. I liked the idea of the mix of dressings. I skipped the green pepper, added chopped olives and actually quick sauteed the onion and a small handful of sun dried tomatoes in the olive juice. I left it cool and tossed it all together. Used a little less dressing than called for and used fat free versions of each to reduce the calories. YUMMMMMY.

I'm not super crazy about pasta salad, but when I saw this recipe it sounded easy,and good. I read the reviews, and a lot of people were saying some great things. We ended up going to a BBQ,and this was a side dish that I brought. I also put some extras in it,and used what I had on hand. I used only green bell pepper, white, and green onion, a hint of black pepper,and garlic powder. I kept the rest the same. I put it in the fridge for a couple hours before we left. BOY, was it a hit at the BBQ!!! Everyone wanted the recipe. And went back for seconds. I was very surpried at how well the two dressing tasted so well together. I will definitely make again for any kind of party!! Thanks for sharing, very tasty.

This is the first pasta salad I that I have gotten compliments on. So good! I omitted the onion and added black olives and cherry tomatoes.

I loved this pasta salad! I have never tried a pasta salad I really liked before, ever, until I tried this one. This is definitely a keeper. I will FOR SURE make this again! The only change I made was to use half an onion instead of a whole one. Also, as a note, Parmesan cheese is listed in the ingredients, but then never listed in the instructions. Easy enough to figure out when to add it, but just thought I'd mention it.

This recipe was very good. I mixed all the ingredients together to let them sit while the noodles were cooking. I also sauted the bell peppers in 2 Tbsp butter since I don't care for the crunchy texture. I also omitted the onion b/c I don't like them. The pasta was good at both room temp and the following day right out of the fridge. I think the flavors tasted even better the next day. Would def make again!

Great creamy pasta salad that can be made quickly if you forget to make it ahead of time.It has a nice flavour to start and if you have an hour or so before you eat your meal it can sit in the fridge and develop a bit more fullness in flavour.

Can you ruin this great recipe? I doubt it! I thought I had all the ingredients. It still turned out very well when I used only half of the amount of caesar dressing and upped the italian dressing to make up for it. I also put in less green pepper and onion then the recipe called for. Still tastey. To bulk it up for a meal I added mozzerella shredded cheese and sliced black olives. Thank you.

Very good. Just the right amount of dressing for the pasta. Thought it needed something, so I added some garlic powder. I think I might cut back on the parmesan next time by 1/4 cup. I also added 1 cup of frozen peas, and next time i'll add brocoli. Probably even better after it sits for a while, so the onion flavor can spread abit. Oh ya, I used calorie-wise dressings.

I made this once before for a potluck I attended and it went over very well. The hostess asked for the recipe and she served it at a dinner she had subsequently, also to rave reviews. I made it for lunch today and I guess it really hit the spot with my husband as he said, "The food was delicious!" It's really a great recipe - very easy and we enjoy the taste. You can chop up your veggies while the pasta is boiling. I make it according to the directions except that I use a zesty Italian dressing instead of just regular and I've added additional veggies - corn, broccoli.

This was great! I used bowtie pasta and about 2 tbs of white onion, since I had no red onion. I added shredded mozzarella cheese and black pepper, too. Loved the dressing combo and we liked it best served at room temperature. Will definately make again.

I made this for the hubby to take to a potluck at work. I made a double recipe and it was wiped out quickly. I added sliced black olives, and used store brand everything. Chilled overnight. The red onion really made this dish a standout (all the red onions at the local market were huge, so I just used one). The mix of dressings is perfect - I think I like it better than a mayo-based sauce. This recipe is a keeper.

This was very good. The blend of creamy caesar and italian was what makes this dish. My changes (for personal preference only) were to omit the peppers. I added two tomates diced, a quarter red onion diced, sliced black olives and fresh pepper. Delicious!

Awesome pasta salad! I only used red and green peppers as I don't care for raw onion and it was just delicious! It even kept very well the next day for my potluck and did not dry out at all. I recommend chopping the peppers into very small pieces. They stay nice and crisp even the next day. I got many compliments on it, especially from my husband who tried to eat half of the bowl the night before the potluck. This one will most definitely go in my recipe book!

Definitely the easiest pasta salad recipe you could find. Very innexpensive to make as well. I got everything at Aldi's (the discount grocery store).

This Pasta Salad is AWESOME! I have made it a few times now, and EVERY time I am told how it's the best pasta salad people have had. It's so good and the combination of the dressings are delicious. I make it exactly how the recipe says, but I add sliced up black olives and also sliced pepperoni into small strips for an extra kick. Again, this is the best Pasta Salad and I will never make a different version!! YUM!!

This pasta salad is always requested at family gatherings and events! It's great exactly as the recipe is. However, to make it a little more flavorful I also add a small can of chopped olives and some chunks of salami and cheddar cheese.
