Spring Sweet Pea Pasta Salad

SUBMITTED BY: kimberly

"This quick and easy salad can be served as a side dish or a main course. I suggest serving it with sliced apple, sweet gherkins, or cornichons. Nice bread and a glass of white wine wouldn't hurt either!"

made this for the fam last week, seemed like a good 'it's spring!' meal... everyone loved it... we used low-fat mayo and sour cream, didn't affect the overall flavor... also, next time we make it we'll probably use 1/2 as much cheese as 8 oz is more than enough... enjoy!...

The editing staff of AR made an error in the recipe The sharp cheddar cheese should be cubed definitly not shredded. You would also use Kraft crumbles
