The was amazing. I served it as a cold pasta salad with Greek boneless pork chops. It was almost impossible to eat only one serving. For the leftovers-I warmed it up to serve as a hot pasta and tossed in sliced grilled chicken that I had seasoned with dry Good season Italian dressing. OMG!!! - 7/10/13
