About

Here's a dish that's ready to roll its way into your heart! Wheely-Good Pasta Salad replaces the traditional rotini pasta with wagon wheels for added fun and texture, while never skimping on the crunch from the red pepper, the sharpness of the cheddar cheese, or the tang of the ripe olives. Coated in creamy Parmesan Romano for even more sharpness, Wheely-Good Pasta Salad more than earns its name on taste alone. As an added bonus, this salad is ready to roll in less than 30 minutes and just five steps! So everything is wheely-amazing!
