Ingredients

Servings
  • 16 oz rotini pasta (We love the multi-colored)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 pound mozzarella cheese cubed
  • 4 oz pepperoni cut in half
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 can black olives 6 oz, drained
  • 8 oz Italian dressing
  • 6 oz shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Bring a large of of water to a boil.
  2. Add pasta and cook until al dente. You want your pasta firm.
  3. Drain, and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the pasta with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, green pepper, and black olives.
  5. Pour the Italian dressing over the top. Add in the Parmesan cheese and stir to coat.
  6. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least one hour for the flavors to come together.

Notes

  • Add red onion to give this pasta dish even more flavor. Other ideas...how about adding fresh mozzarella or some fresh herbs?! You will not be disappointed.
