I got this off of a box of pasta. The picture looked tasty, so I knew I had to post it for safe keeping. The recipe said that it serves 7, but I've never made it, so I'm not sure. (sounds like a lot to me?)

BARILLA ROTINI WITH ZUCCHINI, CHERRY TOMATOES & RICOTTA SALA



Barilla Rotini With Zucchini, Cherry Tomatoes & Ricotta Sala image

I found this on the back of a box of Barilla Rotini Pasta. We lilked it so I am posting iit. I added 3 ribs of celery sliced, 1 medium green bell pepper chopped, sliced black olives and petitte diced tomatoes in juice. But it is very good the way it was and that is the way I posted it. You can add whatever your family likes to your own tastes. If you cannot find Barilla pasta in your area, just use your favorite curly, twisty pasta. We like the Barilla brand because it always cooks perfectly and is never mushy or "fall apart."
