Easily my favorite recipe on this website can't wait to try everything else on here, hopefully more pasta salads!
Loved it! Best pasta salad I've ever had even added some sundried tomatoes soaked in oil to this tasted fantastic.
This was actually so freaking tasty loved this bruschetta pasta.
I accidenlty used some sunflower oil instead of olive oil but I don't think there was a huge difference in taste luckily (tried both the second time with the correct oil) so don't worry too much if you make the same mistake as I.
Blt pasta salad had a bit more flavor but I enjoyed this nonetheless
My kids love this pasta salad! Thanks for sharing recipe!
