This pasta salad is a nice side or even as a standalone main dish. It is good warm or cold and gets even more flavorful the longer it sits. Add or substitute your family’s favorite ingredients as this is a very flexible recipe. I use San Giorgio’s Trio Italiano pasta but you can use penne, rotini, ziti, small shells etc. It makes a lot so it is very good for potlucks and cookouts.
