Italian Dressing Pasta Salad


One night when I made homemade pizza I decided I wanted to make an Italian Pasta too. Since I had left over ingredients from my pizza's it was super easy to put together.  

I found a recipe I liked on Pinterest I will link below. I did not follow the measurements and left out some of the ingredients.  It turned out delicious! 


Ingredients

  • 1 Box Tri-Color Rotini. 
  • Olive Oil.
  • 1 Bottle Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing.
  • Mushrooms.
  • Black Olives.
  • Green Olives.
  • Grape Tomatoes.
  • Shredded Parmesan Cheese.
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese. 
  • Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese.
  • Shredded Colby Jack and Cheddar Cheese Blend. 
  • Salt.
  • Pepper.

 

Use the directions on the back of the Rotini box to cook your pasta. Add water to a pot and bring to a boil on the stove, you can add your pasta before the water begins to boil, I use a gas stove so I add my noodles before the water begins to boil. Add olive oil or vegetable oil to your water along with salt and pepper.  When your pasta is tender it is ready.  Let your pasta cool, use a colander and drain the water out of your pasta. Make sure all of your vegetables are chopped and sliced.  Add your vegetables, cheese, and dressing to your cooked pasta and toss!


 I ate on it all weekend, it was good!
