Pizza Pasta Salad Recipe
Pizza Pasta Salad
Ingredients
- 12 oz uncooked rotini
- 1/2 large tomato chopped
- 1/2 green pepper finely chopped
- 1/2 red pepper finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
- 1 (2.5 ounce) can sliced black olives
- 4 green onions sliced
- 1 (26 ounce) bottle Zesty Italian dressing
- 1 (2.5 ounce) package pepperoni
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or oregano
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
Instructions
- Prepare rotini according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Put in a large bowl
- Add all of your veggies and mix well.
- Next, add in the dressing. Normally, I'm not a big "brand name" person (You can look at my previous posts and see that I buy almost everything generic). But for this, I really really recommend using the Kraft Zesty Italian (you can go Lite, if you want). It truly makes this pasta salad. I always start with a cup, and add a little more if I think it's too dry.
- Add in everything else, and mix until it's all incorporated.
