One of the best pasta salads I have eaten. It definetly needs additioal sauce if you make it the day before serving. I tasted it without the tomatoes and it was good. It was fantastic with the tomatoes. Fold them in just before serving. Do not omit them!!! We will be serving this salad for years to come.

This is the best macaroni I've ever made, and my family agrees. But it does get dry if you prepare it in advance. I'm happy I took the suggestion of other viewers to double the sauce. I stirred in the extra sauce right before serving. Absolutely delicious!
