This pasta salad recipe was given to me by a friend a few years ago and ever since then, it's been at just about every bbq we go to. It was always at every single bbq we did and to this day people still request me to bring it. It's so simple!
What you need:
1 box of tri-colored rotini, cooked according to al dente directions, drained and cooled (they didn't have any when I went this time, the tri-color makes it so fun. I've even subbed whole wheat pasta for it and it tastes just as good! Just make sure you use a type that will trap the dressing as opposed to a flat pasta that it will fall right off of)
1 bottle of Italian dressing
1 small purple onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded, cored, diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded, cored, diced
1 container of grape tomatoes, sliced in half
1 medium can sliced olives (I omitted them because Danny doesn't like olives)
1 container of parmesean cheese
Salt and Pepper
Directions:
Once pasta is cooked and cooled put it in a bowl and add diced veggies, half the bottle of italian, approximately 1/4 cup parm, salt and pepper to taste. Mix it up and add ingredients as needed. Enjoy!
