Very good base recipe. I ate it as a meal, but it would be great as a side dish. I subbed celery for green pepper, as that's what I had and omitted the green onion because I didn't have any. I would have preferred a higher vegetable to pasta ratio, so if I make this again (I probably will) I will increase the amounts. Also, I used whole wheat pasta, so it took a bit more of the Italian dressing. Thanks for posting!
