Frog's Eye Salad, or Ancini De Pepe Salad

This is my variation on Grandma's recipe.

Boil and Cool:
1 3/4 Cups Ancini De Pepe Pasta

Boil until thick then cool:
2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups pineapple juice
4 Tbsp. flour
Mix with pasta and chill overnight.

at least an hour before serving add:
1/2 -whole package of french vanilla instant pudding, mix well
At this time usually add the rest of the ingredients, except for bananas, which don't get added until you serve it to avoid them turning brown.

Add:
2 cans mandarin oranges
1 large can pineapple tidbits
1 large can crushed pineapple
maraschino cherries (optional)
large handful of mini marshmallows (optional)
1 large container Cool Whip
5 bananas (I don't think I ever add that many though)
