I just made this pasta tonight, and it was deee-licious! For anyone who is considering making this dish, definitely make extra dressing; not because the dish needs more, but because it is beyond tasty. I wish I had some extra right now!

Definitely right up my alley. I have a shell pasta fetish. It goes back to my childhood ;-)

Looks lovely! It’s been a pasta salad kind of summer for me; it’s an easy thing I can make for my fiancee to take to work. (Although I generally do the “boring” option with a simple garlic vinaigrette, with lemon and zest if I have lemons. We like it. ;)

I really enjoyed the dressing! But because I used a whole grain pasta I thought I should have added a bit more as mine still seemed a tad ‘dry’. I also added shredded asiago cheese throughout which was an amazing add in! Overall, what a great fresh and inspiring recipe=)

super good, the leftover dressing makes a killer pizza sauce!

I’m making this again for my dad’s birthday dinner. Last time I put the dressing on the hot pasta because I was in a rush. Most of the dressing got absorbed into the pasta which made me sad. It wasn’t dry but the flavors were absorbed a bit. This time I’m giving a cold shot of water to stop the cooking and letting it totally cool before i sauce it up. Plus I’m using two cloves of roasted garlic instead of the shallot and adding chunks of goat cheese. happy birthday dad!

MMM- made this for din tonight. Used whole wheat shells and fresh asparagus in place of the snow peas. Also, frozen peas, which worked great- through them in for the last minute in w/ the boiling pasta water.
Also, I added a little fresh basil and parm, as suggested. Fantastic! I did find the vinaigrette a little salty as is, so next time I’ll half the amount of salt, I think. A do again for sure though.
