Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the stem and seeds. Place the peppers on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes or until peppers are charred. Let cool to room temperature.
  3. While the peppers are roasting, cook the pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  4. Roughly chop the roasted peppers.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, peppers, artichoke hearts, salami, mozzarella, olives, sun dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, basil, parsley, and onion. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Make the Italian Dressing and pour over the salad. Toss until the salad is well coated. Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Serve.
