Another Catalina Pasta Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs pasta (I use rotini)
1 large green pepper (cored and diced small)
24 ounces Catalina dressing, divided (I used Kraft)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 eggs (hardboiled, cooled, and sliced) (optional)

Preparation

Cook pasta according to directions on package.
While pasta is cooking chop up the green pepper.
Once pasta is cooked, drain and rinse under cold water until pasta is no longer warm.
Empty into large bowl with the green peppers.
Add 16 ounces of Catalina dressing and 1/2 cup of mayo and stir until pasta is completely coated. (It should have a creamy orange consistency).
Add sliced hardboiled eggs and fold into pasta mixture (optional).
Refrigerate overnight.
About an hour before serving, pour in the last 8 ounces of Catalina dressing and stir well. (more mayo can be added if desired).
