Easy Mostaccioli Pasta Salad image

I discovered this tasty mostaccioli pasta salad in a church cookbook over 15 years ago, then the dog ate the cookbook! The recipe was lost for over a decade until it was recovered through the miracle of crowdsourcing. I'm excited to share it with everyone so this won't happen again! Enjoy! Best when made the day before serving.

This pasta salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I added some extra garlic and Italian seasoning and it was much better.
