Simple Pasta Salad

Ingredients 1 lb. rotini pasta 1 / 2 large sweet onion( chopped) 1 cup cucumber( peeled and chopped) 1 cup tomatoes( seeded if desired and chopped) 1 cup chopped carrots 2 eggs( hard boiled and chopped) 16 oz. Marzetti Slaw Dressing( The jar is 24 oz. You won ' t use the whole thing)
Directions In a large pot, cook pasta according to package directions. I add salt and olive oil to the boiling water. Drain when finished cooking.
Put prepared tomatoes, onion, carrots, cucumber, and eggs into a large bowl.
Pour about 1 / 2 of the jar of Marzetti dressing on the chopped veggies / eggs. Stir to coat. Add pasta and enough Marzetti dressing to coat the pasta. Keep stirring until it ' s all mixed together well.
Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 2 hours, longer is better.
Can be made a day ahead. If pasta soaks up too much of the dressing, just add more and stir well.
