This Pizza Pasta Salad is a family favorite, all year round.  I love making Pizza Pasta Salad all Summer long, but I also bring it to almost every family gathering.  Birthdays, holidays, you name it! And it’s always a hit!

Pizza Pasta Salad is loaded with veggies and packed with flavor.  Pepperoni, cheese, fresh garlic, Italian dressing, plus tons of veggies.  I’ve been known to eat Pizza Pasta Salad as a meal all by itself.  This is Baby Boy’s favorite, too.  He inhales it like his little life depends on it!

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.
