    Recipe - Lynne's Old Bay Pasta Salad
    I never really measure when I cook. I add a little of this and a little of that unitl I get it tasting the way I like it. I think it turned out great so I thought I'd share the recipe I made up. If you don't have Old Bay you can use some celery salt and pepper or use the Old Bay recipe that was just posted.

    Lynne's Old Bay Pasta Salad

    1 lb. box pasta (mini penne or bowtie)
    1 cup Zesty Italian dressing
    chopped vegetables of your choice – This is what I used:
    3 stalks celery, 5 carrots, 1 small red onion, 1 red bell pepper, 5 radishes, 1 cucumber, broccoli flowerets
    2 tsp Old Bay or more to taste
    2 Tablespoons Creamy French dressing
    4 Tablespoons Miracle Whip salad dressing or Hellman’s mayo
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    Optional - add 1pound cooked shrimp or chicken, cut up)

    Cook 1 pound pasta (I use either mini penne or bowtie)until al dente about 9-10 minutes. Do not let get overdone.
    Drain. Toss the warm pasta with 1 cup bottled Zesty Italian dressing. It is important to add the dressing while the pasta is still warm so that it will be absorbed. Add your chopped veggies and sprinkle with 2 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning. Stir and refrigerate for several hours. Before serving mix together creamy French dressing, Miracle Whip, and Parmesan cheese. Add to pasta & vegetables. Stir to mix. If salad is too dry, add more Miracle Whip to taste. Add more Old Bay seasoning to taste. This has a tangy yet creamy taste.

    I think tuna would go good in this with the old bay, have you tried that? Thanks!

    If this is anything like your shrimp dip then it is a winner! I love that stuff. Thanks.

    I've never tried it with tuna, but it might be a great addition.

    Thanks for the compliment on the shrimp dip. I love that stuff too. I could eat it with a spoon!lol

    Do you think corn and some kind of beans would be good in this?

    Where do you find the seasoning? I don't think I've ever seen it.

    Old Bay seasoning is usually at the counter where they sell fresh fish, shrimp, etc. It is a seafood seasoning.

    This recipe sounded so good but so familiar. I copied it and found out that I already had the recipe. You posted it back in Oct 2004 and I have made it several times. Thanks for reminding me.
