  1. I used some ribbed macaroni that I already had, the entire family enjoyed this recipe and I'm sure we'll have it again
     
  2. I reduced the amount of olive oils and used rotelle instead of Farfelle. This is a very "Italian" pasta salad.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I guess would still consider myself a 'newbie' cook. I love trying new recipes, but am still trying to perfect my techniques. I never grew up learning to cook, and only started when I met my husband. And then it was only on occasion that I would attempt something. After my 3 year old daughter was born, I fugred I should brush up on my skills. So for the past three years I have been trying to cook some good food for the fam. I'm a still a bit slow in the kitchen, so I'm usually looking for quicker meals. 30 minutes usually means an hour for me ;) I'm a waitress, and my husband is also in the food and beverage industry, so we both appreciate good food. We like to eat out as much as we can, anywhere and everywhere. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
