Great recipe Libby, thanks for sharing ! gdubmom , "delicious " would have been a great reply. There was no need to critique
Delicious! Made this for the family, even with two picky eaters, we had no leftovers.Gonna be a bit of a pedant, though, the pasta is the only part of this that's truly Mediterranean- tomatoes and green beans were first cultivated in the Americas, and Caesar dressing was created in Mexico. So I'll be calling this an American Pasta Toss.
You can use fresh green beans in this recipe. Put in the last 3 minutes as with frozen green beans.
Haven't tried it (yet) but can tell the combination of familiar and essential flavors will be perfect in this iteration.
We eat gluten free so we replaced the ravioli with gluten free noodles. My daughter also grabbed the frozen peas out of the freezer instead of the frozen green beans. So we substituted peas. Very delicious, easy to prepare & filling!
Delish!
I think the salad tasted good! delowenstein

Great combination!-I didn't have green beans so I used green pepper and a few green onions-I can see this with sliced olives too.
This was ok.
