This dish is awesome!!! I used organic brown rice pasta and just poured enough sauce to my liking. Those who said they left out the mayo did themselves an injustice. It makes it decadent.

Maybe I just don't like creamy pasta salad. Also, what exactly is a "pound" of pasta? I added more pasta to overcome the extreme creaminess. I also added more peas to make it sweeter. I added sundried tomatoes, which helped add to the sweetness. The olives I added didn't do anything for me.

I added fresh tomatoes and it made tons of food. This is a keeper.

I made this last Saturday for lunch. It was amazing. I followed the directions precisely. You won't regret making this dish. Be prepared for left overs.

Great pasta salad that serves many...for many days! I love the pesto recipe. I must try adding chicken to it as someone said below!

When my son first transitioned to big people food, this was his favorite. So much so that we planted basil in our backyard so we could make the pesto. This recipe is not only tastey but it feeds a crowd.

Ina's pesto recipe is easy and very good. In addition, I toast the walnuts and pine nuts on a foil-lined cookie sheet in a 400 degree oven for a couple minutes before using them to bring out their flavor. Watch them and be careful not to burn. Then I like to take a couple chicken breasts fresh from the store which means they have only been frozen once, skin-on and bone-in, sprinkled with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, baked in a 400 degree oven for an hour, let cool, remove the skin and bone with my fingers, cut or tear it into chunks and add it to the final dish.

This is a really great dish! I skip the mayo and instead use some of the pasta water to temper the pesto prior to adding it to the pasta. It's pretty rich anyway with the olive oil and cheese (I use both parmesan and peccorino. Definitely recommend this!
