This simple Italian pasta salad recipe is perfect for barbecues or any get-together. Customize it with your favorite vegetables and cheeses — use any assortment of diced vegetables, and you can substitute mozzarella cheese for Parmesan cheese. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Ingredients

  • 1 package rotelle pasta , 16 ounce
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1 can black olives , 6 ounce
  • 1 package pepperoni , 6 ounce
  • 0.75 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Italian-style salad dressing , such as Olive Garden

Instructions

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotelle at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

  2. 2

    Combine rotelle, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, olives, pepperoni, and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl; pour ½ dressing over salad and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
