Re: Pasta Salad
I've made a very simple one with fusilli, asparagus spears, cherry tomatoes (in halves) tossed in olive oil with salt and pepper to taste. It's simple but delish!

Re: Pasta Salad
I use Rotelle pasta.
I cut up:
cucumbers
broccoli spears
red pepper
orange or yellow pepper
carrots - cut very thin
I toss it all with Robusto Italian dressing and feta cheese. Mmmmm.

Re: Pasta Salad
I usually just mix together penne or spirals, italian dressing, fresh basil, fresh tomato and fresh mozzarella or a block of regular mozzarella cut into small cubes. Maybe add some sliced black olives too.
Honestly, I wouldn't go too crazy with the amount of servings. Maybe a pound, definitely not more than 2.
If this is an everyone-brings-a-dish get together you could end up with a TON of leftovers.

Re: Pasta Salad
since you have 35-40 people i would at least times this recipe by 3... i agree that other people will be prob bringing stuff though...
1 box whole wheat rotini
2 small zucchini (diced up small)
3 handfuls of grape tomatoes (or a small container, i had a huge container from BJ's).. sliced up
1 bag shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can chick peas
1 can black olives (pitted)
-i cook the pasta w/o salt drain it and rinse under cold water, i throw everything else in there and then top with olive oil, salt and black pepper (although i like to add some red pepper flakes for myself) and mix it all up. you can also do italian salad dressing instead of olive oil as a dressing.. it is yummy!
