Peas & Pepper Pasta Salad image

I often serve a pasta salad for a buffet. That way, there's no need for a side salad. Any leftover pasta salad is fantastic stuffed in halved and cored plum tomatoes. -Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

This pasta salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the vibrant colors and the combination of peas, bell peppers, and pasta. I made a double batch next time because it disappeared so fast!
