Rosa Marina Pasta Salad image

I got this recipe from a co-worker who brings it to every pot luck dinner. It is really so very good and makes a large batch. If you're making it just for family I'd suggest halving the recipe. Nice change in pasta salads and makes the occasion seem special. Note that you must start making this the day before you plan to serve it.
