I liked this very much. I took out the celery and the olives because of some whiney men in our group of friends, added some slightly nuked broccoli and some halved grape tomatoes. I made it the day ahead and then throughout the next day continued to add dressing and Old Bay until it was where I thought it should be.

Like this alot! Added tomatoes. Love the cucumbers.1st time I used old bay...will definetly make again. Even my husband, who doesnt usually like these kind of Italian salads, liked it. Next time I might add pepperoni.

I never would have thought it was the Old Bay that pulled this pasta salad together. I made this a day ahead, and by the next day, all the flavors melded together perfectly. Quick, simple ingredients, and tasty; you can bet I'm keeping this one. Thank you!

This pasta salad is great! Although I didn't have any of that seasoning, I did add some different spices and it went over very well with everyone. I also added some carrots and celery, just for more vegetables (and to try and "hide" the fact that I used too much noodles in it haha) Perfect salad for a side dish. Thanks so much!

I used tortellini instead of rotini for some more flavor. I only used 8 oz. Cut the Italian dressing in half. Used 3 1/2 tsp Old Bay (it wasn't spicy enough when I halved the original recipe). Left other ingredients as recipe called for. Was still missing something, so I added some tomato cubes and some extra sharp cheese cubes. With my changes I'd rate it a 4 but as written a 3 is as high as I would give it.

This is a really good pasta salad, and it's a really simple recipe. I made it on the morning of the 4th of July, and the flavor was great by the late afternoon when we ate. We had plenty left over (it makes a lot) that kept suprisingly well, too.

This is really good...but better after I added a ton more veggies. I used chopped zucchini, cukes, grape tomatoes, sliced black olives, and a red & green pepper. The flavor just seemed to pop. Really good pasta salad for a hot summer night.

Great recipe for picnics. No mayo! This is surprising wonderful. Fresh, crisp, tasty. I highly recommend....

Really good pasta salad. Made for a family get together and it was inhaled! I left out the cheese cubes and added some grape tomaotes I cut in half, 1/4 of a large green pepper and just a little minced vadalia onion. I've made this pasta salad before without the Old Bay, but I really like the addition of it. Made it a little spicy but it wasn't so much that my 2 year old couldn't eat it. Delicious!

I didnt put the cheese, put 4 tsp old bay, used 8 oz of olives, and added 1 large tomato and 1 tsp salt to it and used good seasons packaged italian dressing(the kind you make at home). My family and friends loved it.

This is a wonderful pasta salad! I added chopped tomatoes and onions, and used Asiago cheese instead of Monterey Jack (it was what I had on hand). Using vegetable rotini also adds lots of color. Thanks, Linda!

This salad was a big hit at two parties this summer. I used pretty much the same ingredients but added a lot more veggies. The combination of the cajun spice and Italian dressing works very well. I didn't have Monterey Jack so I cut up mozarella cheese sticks along with cubed summer sausage. I added cut up carrots, onion, tomato, broccoli and marinated artichoke hearts. I made it the night before to let the flavors blend. And also to let the pasta soak up the dressing so the salad wouldn't be too wet. But extra dressing can be added before serving if it's too dry. Will make again!

This was good! I doctored it. Added tomato pieces, chopped celery, green peppers, and carrots, forgot the cheese (not intentionally), and used spaghetti (out of rotini). I didn't have zesty Italian dressing but used Good Seasons regular Italian. I think it was the addition of Old Bay, which I am a big fan of. Definately one of the best (cold) pastas I have had. Will make again.

We have made this four times now and loved it more each time. However, it didn't go over as well at a function as many people wouldn't even try it because they don't care for olives.

We have updated this recipe to correct the amount of Old Bay seasoning called for in the ingredient list.

Very good flavor but MAN was it spicy!!! We added mayo to the leftovers to bring it down a notch and it had a milder curry flavor.

I made this recipe for my husband to take to a certain company for a lunch. They all raved about this recipe and were asking my husband for the recipe!
