I make a pasta salad with Mostacalli--just a tube-shape pasta. It holds up well and has a vinegar so no worry about spoiling when standing.
Just boil the pasta, rinse well and add veggies of your choice; tomatoes, onion, carrt, peas, slightly cooked, olives, both green and ripe, celery. Just us what you have.
Make the dressing; 1/2 c. vinegar with 1 T. water; 1 and 1/ c. sugar. Mix well pour over salad and marinate well. Stir every few hours to keep moist.
I never bring any of this home when we picnic, ect. Enjoy!!Mariah
