This recipe is an excellent way to take advantage of the fresh produce of the fall season. Check your local grocery store or farmers market for fall broccoli and sweet red peppers to mix with bow tie pasta and top with a creamy Italian dressing. This special dressing captures the best of two worlds. It blends the zesty flavors of KRAFT Tuscan House Italian Dressing and Marinade with creamy MIRACLE WHIP dressing. Italian seasoning is then added as the finishing touch to this dressing. The spices work together to enhance the flavors of each ingredient.

Since we could all use a few more minutes in our days during the holidays why not free up your busy schedule with simple recipes that you can make ahead of time? Before you head off to work, mix together the dressing and seasoning, then toss in the remaining ingredients. After work, this Creamy Italian Pasta Salad will be fully marinated and ready for you to enjoy!
