Additional Info:
You can use more or less oil depending on your personal taste. I created this recipe because I live alone and try to maintain a healthy life style and also like to make things that I can eat several days that reheat well or can be eaten cold. This fits all those categories and has pleased even my pickiest guests!! Whether I serve it fresh off the stove, reheated for a lunch guest, or as a refreshing pasta salad everyone loves it :-)
