I can never find Acene Di Pepe pasta (tiny ball shaped pasta), so I've always ended up using Pastina pasta (the tiny star pasta) and it works just as well.
1 c. Pastina or Acene di Pepe pasta
1 pk Instant Pistachio Pudding
1 8oz cool whip (at room temperature)
mandarin oranges
canned pineapples
grapes
marshmallows (do not use the colored, fruity ones...trust me they don't taste as good as normal ones)
Cook pasta, drain, rinse with water to keep from clumping together, let it cool. Mix pudding, mix with pasta. Add cool whip. Dump in any kinds of fruits you like. Let sit in refrigerator for a few hours before serving. Just before serving add half bag on marshmallows (or more if you'd like).
Note:You can use the full 2 cup container of pasta and an extra pudding and cool whip to double. But, this "halved" batch makes plenty. Enough to feed over 14 adults. A lot of recipes add 1-2 cups sugar and eggs...but I like to keep it simple and it really is just as good.
