Wonderful meal. I halfed the onions because we react to a lot of raw onion in our food. Used Sun Dried Tomato dressing by Newman instead of Italian. Yummy and worth the effort.

This was just ok. It certainly makes enough for a group/party. I used fat free Italian salad dressing - not a good idea, as it was not creamy & flavorful enough. Therefore, I had to full-fat dressing to get the flavor to "come alive".

Took to a cookout - it's requested now. I don't measure ingredients, kind of eye ball it but delish.

Great recipe, everyone wants it. I added cucumbers to mine and left out the bacon. Perfect for a snack also. A friend tried it with wheat pasta and rasberry vinagrette dressing as she is diabetic and loved it.

very tasty, even without the black olives and salad mixings. Best chilled several hours or overnight even better.

I love this kind of pasta salad!!! The recipe is perfect the way it is. I brought it to our monthly family dinner and they all loved it. It's a fun salad because you can put whatever you may have in the fridge into it. I'm going to experiment with different brands of Italian dressings. I'm going to try the vidalia onion italian dressing next...just for fun!

Way too much onion and dressing in this recipe. However, the freshness of the vegetables was very appealing.

I read this recipe a couple times before making it. Since we have a big garden this year, I used my own fresh veggies. I substituted fresh, seeded cucumbers for the olives. The only italian dressing I had on hand was Good Seasons. DEFINITELY USE THE MCCORMICK SALAD SUPREME----it's loaded with celery seed, no msg and some sesame seed to give the salad the extra "zip" needed. It's not a salty spice, either---it's all flavor. Excellent salad and it only gets better after sitting for 24-48 hours in the fridge! --TCL

I wanted a salad that used spaghetti in it and I found this recipe which was rated pretty high so I decided to try it. I used real bacon bits to simplify the recipe and added cheese crumbles instead of the parmesan cheese. My only problem was I used Robusto Italian Dressing which I think made it to tart. Using McCormick's Salad Supreme gives it the kick you would want so next time I will use regular Italian-style salad dressing. Everyone did enjoy this dish.

I made this last night and it was a hit. I was thinking that this would be a good recipe to make variations on. Next time I am going to go for an asian theme...with the spaghetti add scallions, water chestnuts, pea pods, sesame seeds and ginger sesame dressing.

I've made this for years. The only thing different is that instead of bacon, I always toss in a "handful" of sliced mushrooms. The salad seasoning I use is Schilling Salad Supreme. This make a tremendous amount and goes over well at potlucks and BBQ's. Thanks for reminind me of this tried and true favorite!

Ok, so I had to change this a some, but I saw it on my email 'daily recipe' and it sounded too good not to make even though I was missing some ingredients. I used most everything called for, celery, onion, tomatoes, bacon, pasta, except I used rotini pasta and sauted all the vegetables in a little of the bacon drippings, just until they were still slightly crunchy. Didn't have any olives, seasoning mix or the Italian dressing so I had to use a little dried basil and oregano( I threw the basil and oregano in with the vegetables while they were cooking along with a minced clove of garlic). Mixed that in the pasta, added Kens Lite Caesar dressing and used some shredded parmesan and not the dried stuff in the bottle. I ate it warm 'cuz' it smelled wonderful and I couldn't wait to try it. Probably would have been even better if I'd had all the right stuff. I'll be making this for the next pot-luck for sure, (according to the recipe though next time). It tasted great even with the substitutions I had to make. Thanks Karinichols.

McCormick Salad Supreme is a must in this recipe! For some that discover it is difficult to find at the market, I've made my own by using equal parts Romano cheese, Sesame Seed and Poppy Seed, then adjusting the taste with the remaining ingredients of salt, paprika, celery seed, black pepper and red pepper. You're eliminating the Silicon Dioxide that you don't need in your diet! Shake well and store in a tight fitting container in a cool dry place. Shake more than you think you need on your salad and toss. It's quite a difference!

McCormick's Salad Supreme is excellent for Pasta salad. I have been using it for about 20 years now. It is always a crowd pleaser. I still have a hard time finding it sometimes. It is always hidden amongst the other spices. Look hard:) Great recipe. My extremely picky 9 year old loves it.

I've made a different version of this recipe for years to take to potlucks or bbq's and people always ask for the recipe afterwards without fail. I do use the spaghetti noodles. The veggies I've added is any variety of bell peppers diced - I happen to prefer the red/orange/yellows best, baby carrots diced,and a package of cherry tomatoes halved. I've used off-brand salad supreme before and never have had a complaint, and always use the Wishbone Italian salad dressing. Oh, and I've not ever added the parmesan or bacon to this either. I have had people call me after parties to ask for the recipe, so unsure why bacon or cheese is even needed! Anyway, I'm sure it's a good base for adding/tweeking any veggies, but use the wishbone italian and salad supreme.

This was pretty good. I think, like other reviewers have stated, I would make it with a different pasta type next time. I really did enjoy the bacon...I added extra too. I wouldn't have thought to put that in a pasta salad...good addition. ,

We really love this recipe and have made it numerous times. Since I haven't changed anything in the last three batches, I'll share our modifications: 1. We use Rotini instead of spaghetti and specifically Barilla Plus Rotini. Really adds to the protein and fiber and is much easier for us to eat. 2.We also use Light Zesty Italian dressing to eliminate 2/3 of the calories from the salad dressing. 3. We use real crumbled bacon rather than frying it ourselves. I use 1 cup. (When my wife makes the recipe she uses pepperoni...I almost always volunteer to make it) 4. Finally, I use three tomatoes rather than two. We hope you find these modifications useful in your enjoyment of this wonderful pasta salad.

Wow...this is so good! I pan-fried the bacon, then added onion and garlic until cooked through. I tossed all of that with whole-wheat spaghetti, cucumber, tomatoes and olives, then a little bit of Italian dressing. Some of us added more dressing at the table. For most of us, a small amount already tossed in was enough. I served it with french bread, and I had no leftovers. Talk about easy AND good!
