The great thing about pasta salad is that you don't have to have a recipe; you can just throw in whatever you have. I start with cooking the pasta, obviously, and then if there are any vegetables that I want to cook before putting into the salad, I throw them into the water with the pasta a couple of minutes before the pasta is done. Broccoli is really good, for example. Whatever other vegetables I have/want to include go into the mixing bowl. Also, grated cheese is really delicious in pasta salad. Also include some mayonnaise or salad dressing, whatever you prefer, plus salt and pepper to tase. Other things I might include in the salad would be diced green or red peppers, perhaps some tuna (drained) or canned shrimp (drained), tomato, or whatever other vegetables I think would be good. Drain the pasta and mix everything together. The grated cheese will melt as it's mixed with the hot pasta and it's delicious. You can serve hot or cold.
(P.S. If you are planning to chill the salad for later, you might want to add more mayo or salad dressing. I think the pasta absorbs it sometimes and it gets kinda dry...)
