The Best Pasta Salad image

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to directions, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While pasta is cooking, chop tomato, peppers and onion into very small pieces. Add olives and mix.
  • Drain Rotini; rinse with cold water for about 3 minutes.
  • Mix pasta with tomato, peppers, onion and olives.
  • Refrigerate for about 1/2 an hour.
  • Add salad dressing; mix well.
  • Add Parmesan cheese; mix well.
  • Serve immediately.
  • If you have left overs, you will have to "re-wet" salad by adding a little more salad dressing the next day, especially if you substitute the dressing with a fat-free dressing.

8 ounces rotini pasta (Barilla is best)
1 large tomatoes, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium red pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can black olives, drained and sliced
1 (8 ounce) bottle Kraft sun-dried tomato salad dressing
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

QUICK ITALIAN PASTA SALAD

I came up with this recipe after making the boxed kind for many years and I would doctor it up with fresh veggies, so I thought why not just make my own! It's super quick and easy and you can add as much or as many veggies that you like or use your own favorite dressing.

Quick Italian Pasta Salad image

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside to drain well.
  • Cut cucumber, bell pepper, and onion into bite sized pieces. Place into the bowl you will be using for the salad.
  • Cut tomatoes in half and and in half again and deseed. Cut into bite sized pieces. Add to the bowl.
  • Cut stem and bottom off zucchini. Shred zucchini and add to the other vegetables.
  • Make sure the pasta is very well drained, and add to the bowl.
  • Pour salad dressing over pasta and vegetables. Use as little or as much as you like. I think it needs quite a bit since the pasta will soak some up.
  • Add the italian seasoning.
  • Mix well and chill at least 4 to 6 hours or over night for best flavors. Stirring occasionally.
  • To serve top with diced cheese and pepperoni if using.
