This is a great Italian American pasta dish. I bring this to parties and picnics often. Enjoy!

1  1/2 pounds of Barilla large shell pasta.  (you can use the small shells, but it is better to use the large size)

1/2 bottle of Wishbone Light ( or Fat Free ) Italian dressing

1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil

10 pieces of sundried tomatoes

about 10 small, fresh, mozzarella balls

1 can of black olives

1 stalk of celery, cut into chunks.

 

Cook 1 1/2 pound of pasta and drain the pasta.

Place the pasta in a large, ceramic bowl.

Slice all of the sundried tomatoes 3 strips.

Place the sundried tomatoes into the large, ceramic bowl.

Slice the mozzarella balls in half, or you can cut them into 3 slices. (It depends on your preference)

Slice the black olives in half and place them into the bowl.

Chop or slice the celery

Mix the mozzarella balls, celery, olives, and sundried tomatoes in the ceramic bowl

Add 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil and about 1/2 bottle of Wish Bone Fat Free or Light Italian dressing ( I suggest that you add about 1/4 of a bottle first and taste it. Everyone has a different preference.  If you want to add more, then add about 1/2 of the bottle if you desire a heavier taste of dressing.

Mix it all together with a large spoon until it is all blended together.

Refrigerate for about an hour or serve it warm.

This has been popular at picnics. 

It is a great main course or a side dish.

Joanna, that is so odd. I just had the most disgusting pasta salad that my mother made LOL. I also just sent my book cover to Jeannine, so I think the magazine will be out soon. I really do! I have a new authorsden page. I deleted the old. Take care:)
