This pasta salad was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter dressing.

I followed the recipe, but my pasta salad didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I might have used too much gorgonzola.

I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.
