Made this for a church volunteer luncheon and it was a big hit! Like other reviewers, I multiplied the recipe to feed 20 people - used 1 big package (20 oz each of Buitoni Chicken and Herb tortellini and Mixed Cheese. Used jarred roasted red peppers and 'dry' sun dried tomatoes as I had both on hand, and added the pepper liquid to the dressing. Prepped the pasta and vegetables separately the night before and mixed everythiing except the fresh greens (Used 1/2 spinach and 1/2 arugula early in the morning; then added the greens right before serving. Added finely julienned ham and two cans of rinsed cannellini beans to make it a hearty all-in-one main course. Turned it out on large platters surrounded with more arugula and topped with sliced black olives and freshly shaved parmesan. Served garlic bread slices, potato chips and clusters of tri-color grapes on the side.

Made this tonight for a school salad potluck and was pleasantly surprised. I searched for "pasta salad" to see if I could come up with something new, and chose this based on the number of 5-star reviews. I tripled the recipe and doubled the dressing, plus roasted my own red peppers. I also used Buitoni 4 cheese and chicken/prosciutto tortelloni. The flavor is beautiful and the thyme is the key....do not substitute. I would be willing to bet than anyone who gave this recipe a lower rating did not use fresh thyme. I'll make this one again and again.

I made this for a potluck and everyone LOVED it! 3 people asked for the recipe. I was kind of hummed because I was hoping for more leftovers. I will make this again!

My fav new summer salad! We used regular cheese, frozen tortellini and didn't have sun dried tomatoes so we kept them out. Tip: make extra because it's just as good as left-overs!

LOVE this recipe! Make it often for lunch at work instead of boring PB & J. Omit the onions. Only caution is it gets soggy after a couple of days in the fridge so must be eaten quickly.

really delicious, but I found that a healthy handful of really good quality feta made all the difference.

If you've been given the task of bringing pasta salad to a BBQ or get-together stop looking for other pasta salad recipes and make this! ; It's impressive and pretty simple. The other nice thing about this recipe is its easy to tweak based on your preferences. I made it for the first time today with chicken prosciutto tortellini. Next time I think I'll try four cheese or spinach and maybe add salami. I added Parmesan cheese, left out the red pepper, and doubled the dressing. If you're short on time using a Good Seasonings dressing packet with red wine vinegar would work nicely! Enjoy!

Delicious pasta salad!! I added a bit more red wine vinegar and olive oil just before serving to loosen everything up again, but it was fabulous!!

Yummo! This pasta salad is so flavorful and everyone that I make it for loves it. I use spinach or five cheese tortellini and sometimes have to add a little more olive oil and red wine vinegar if the pasta seems a little dry or bland. That seems to do the trick. Thanks Rachael!
