Pasta Salad With Pepperoni and Cheese image

This is the absolute best pasta salad I've ever had. I got it on Celebrate With Style on the internet. I have made it many times for family and friends and it always gets eaten up. Leftovers (if any is left!) are even better.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb penne or 1 lb rotini pasta
1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian dressing
8 ounces thinly sliced pepperoni, cut into strips
1 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained and thinly sliced
1 (6 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and cut in pieces
1 (6 ounce) can pitted ripe olives, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups diced provolone cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaf
2 tablespoons dried Italian spices
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 or 2 Tbs. vegetable oil to water, to keep pasta from sticking. Cook penne or rotini until cooked, but still firm, about 9 minutes. Rinse pasta under cool water to stop cooking, and drain.
  • Combine bottled dressing with chopped parsley, chopped basil, dried Italian seasonings, and crushed red pepper.
  • Pour dressing over cooked pasta and toss. Add pepperoni, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, ripe olives. Toss gently. Add cheese and toss again. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  • Cover and refrigerate until about 30 minutes before ready to serve.

This recipe is a healthier alternative to traditional pasta salad. The use of whole wheat pasta and vegetables makes it a more nutritious dish.

I made this recipe without the pepperoni and it was still delicious. I added some grilled vegetables instead and it was a great way to get my kids to eat their veggies.

I was so happy to find a pasta salad recipe that is gluten-free. It's so hard to find pasta salad recipes that are both gluten-free and delicious. This one fits the bill perfectly.
