Great summer salad to use garden veggies. I used radiatore pasta in place of spaghetti noodles to *hold* the dressing and make it easier to pick up the pasta with a fork! Instead of bottled italian dressing I made the Italian Dressing recipe from this site and used it. Added a handful of cubed fresh mozzarella cheese. Used grape tomatoes in place of regular tomatoes. Next time I will add chopped pepperoni and broccoli and eliminate the poppy seeds.

This is very zesty- a great side dish to foccacia sandwiches. However, I felt it was missing just a little something, like green peppers. I'll try adding finely chopped green pepers to bring out the colors next time. great recipe though. My husband flipped for it!

It was not at all interesting and quite boring. I thought the unusual spices, like the poppy seeds, would give it a good flavor, but it didn't. All I could really taste was the Italian dressing on top of pasta.

Great based recipie! I doubled the parmesan cheese and cucumbers, added olives and bacon bits, and omitted the poppy seeds. I used fettucine since that what I had, and assume this will be great for any pasta shape. Excellent!

I enjoy making and eating spaghetti salads. I just break the spaghetti in half and cook not in small pieces. I like to use Red Wine Vinegar Salad dressing mixed with a Zesty Italian. I added chopped basil and parsley and omitted the sesame seed because I didn't have any left.

I made this last night for lunch today, and I can't say I like it much. The spagetti is rather soggy, and I don't care for the contrasting sesame seed/poppy seed/ Parmesan flavors. Looks like I'll be making something else. Thanks anyway.

This is a great recipe that I use quite often especially at potlucks. I replace the seasonings with McCormick's supreme salad seasoning though because I prefer that flavor. Other than experimenting with various dressing, I use this recipe.

This was good, but not really my style. The extra flavoring was better than just using bottled Italian dressing, but the seeds kind of freaked me out, to be honest.
