I didn't have any pepperoni, so I used bacon instead. It was still really good!

The pasta was overcooked. I should have cooked it for less time.

The pasta salad was a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less pepperoni.

This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover pasta. I always have some leftover pasta in my fridge, so this recipe is a lifesaver.

The pepperoni in this pasta salad adds a nice spicy kick. If you don't like spicy food, you can always omit it.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, but it still turned out great. I used gluten-free pasta and vegan cheese, and it was just as delicious.
