recipe for the creamy Italian Pasta Salad

Here is the recipe for the creamy Italian Pasta Salad:


1 LB Penne Pasta- cooked and drained

3 large chicken breasts shredded (I like to use a rotisserie chicken)

1/2 Cup Italian dressing

2 1/2 Cups of mayonnaise (I use Helmans)

1/2 Cup of sour cream

1/2 Cup finely diced onions

1 Cup diced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes cut in half

1 1/2 Cups of shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese

1 Tablespoon dill weed

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

2 Tablespoons fresh or dried parsley

After draining the cooked pasta, rinse with cold water until the pasta is cooled. Pat the water off of the pasta with paper towels and toss the Italian dressing with the pasta in a large mixing bowl.



Next, add the mayonnaise and the sour cream to the pasta and toss well. Next, add the dill, salt, pepper and parsley and mix well. After adding the seasonings, add the chicken, onions and cheese (save some cheese to sprinkle on the top) and mix thoroughly. Lastly, add the tomatoes and gently fold them into the salad until they are lightly coated with the creamy mix.



Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
