*note: I found the garlic to be overwhelming in this dish, and I will likely omit it if/when I make this again.

This wuffy LOVES using radiatore pasta. It holds the sauces so nicely, especially the thick ones used for pasta salads. And they shape is just "spiffy". *grins*
This looks like a delightful pasta salad! Yum! Love the use of fresh basil!
if the garlic gets too potent, Vrghr recommends using roasted garlic instead, or sautéing the fresh garlic until it smells nutty and fragrant. It cuts the sharp, hot "bite" of the garlic and makes it sweet and nutty, but still keeps some of that essential garlic flavor. :)
