FAQ's

Always rinse your noodles after cooking to remove the extra starch that is on them. This prevents your noodles from sticking together.

Q: How do you keep pasta from sticking to cold pasta salad?

Q: Should I dress my Cold Tortellini Pasta Salad the night before?

If you serve your pasta salad the next day, you could dress it the night before for easy serving. I personally do not dress my salad until the day of for the best flavor.
