Pasta Salad

Pasta Salad

It grows and it grows!

It all started with a 12 ounce box of Tri-color Rotini!

Bring 4-6 quarts of water to a boil.  Add the pasta and boil for 7 minutes.  Drain and run cold water over it to cool it and put it into a bowl.

Here is were it grows!  Here is what I added:


1 large Bell Pepper, diced (I used green, but any color would be good)
1 small Yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic (squeezed through a press)
5 Roma Tomatoes cut up
1/4 pound of Salami, slivered
1 can (4 oz.) Sliced Mushrooms, drained
1 can  (2.25 oz.) Sliced Black Olives, drained
1 1/2 Cups Tuscan House Italian Dressing (any Italian Dressing will do)

Refrigerate overnight.  In the morning Add
12 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese

Other things that could be added:  artichoke hearts, green olives, black beans, kidney beans, feta cheese:  whatever you have on hand!
