Instructions
- Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Cool completely. (I like to rinse the cooked pasta with cold water to cool it down faster.)

- Add dressing - as desired - and toss salad. Chill until ready to serve. Can be made up to 8 hours before serving.

Notes
I used about 1 cup of dressing, but you can use more if you prefer more. Just buy a full bottle of Italian Dressing - your choice of brand, flavor - and use as much as you want.
