Robyn,
This is the first time on this site for me.   I had just made pesto and was looking for a salad recipe, hoping for one with farfalle.  

This recipe was delicious.  I would not have thought of adding feta, but what a nice touch.  I also love the crunch and taste of the sunflower seeds

Man-O-Man did I get rave reviews upon serving this to my sig-oth. She didn't want the dressing (for who knows what reason) but she said you can make this anytime you want; it's delicious. I didn't have bowtie pasta so I used corkscrew pasta.

After the first meal I added some black beans, M-m-m-m so much better, and it was already great. We devoured the 12 servings in 3 days.

Thank-you for the recipe.

Best pasta salad EVER! Thanks for the recipe. Quickly becoming a staple for potlucks. On this island in the tropics, it's appropriate all year!!!

I know exactly what you mean about the basil! Mine is growing so fast I literally made a bouquet of it and put it in a little vase on my kitchen counter. I'm thinking making your pesto pasta recipe might be where that bouquet goes next. :)
