Thanks so much for all the help! in the end m y mom and bro were out and asked if I needed anything 4 my salad and I said aspargus and tomatoes. It is now a aspargus, tomatoe, onion, yellow pepper penne pasta salad with Italin dressing. Smile Thank you so much but my mom came home crying, how can I cheer her up?




Hey babe,

Your pasta sounds delish! Try doing something nice for your mom, like a chore she hasn't asked you to do but you know needs to be done or making her a treat while you're making your pasta salad and see if that helps.

I am going to a pool party/BBQ for our swim team in about 2 and 1/2 hours. I am making the Savory Summer Pasta Salad. How many people does it serve?
Thanks Smile Taylor




Hey babe,

If it doesn't say on the recipe, I'm not sure, but I'd double the recipe if I were you, just in case. You can always take home leftovers!
