Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

16 oz. dry rotini
10 oz. hard salami, (sliced 1/4-inch thick then chopped)
3 cups (16 oz.) grape tomatoes, (halved)
1 (6 oz.) can black olives, (sliced)
2 cups chopped bell peppers ((I like to use yellow and green))
1/2 cup chopped red onion
8 oz. fresh mozzarella pearls*
3 oz. freshly grated parmesan,** ((3/4 cup))
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil***
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp honey
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, (or to taste)
Salt (and freshly ground black pepper)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to directions on package (I boil in 5 quarts water with 1 Tbsp salt) just barely to al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water then drain pasta.
  • Immediately transfer pasta to a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet and spread out to cool for 15 minutes.
  • While pasta is cooking and cooling chop ingredients and prepare dressing.
  • For the dressing whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, mustard, honey, garlic, red pepper flakes and season lightly with salt and then pepper to taste.
  • Add cooled pasta to an extra large bowl along with salami, tomatoes, olives, bell peppers, red onion, mozzarella pearls, parmesan, parsley and basil.
  • Whisk dressing once more then pour over ingredients in bowl along with 1/4 cup pasta water. Toss well to evenly coat. Thin with more pasta water as desired and season with more salt as needed.
  • It can be served right away or for a colder, more refreshing pasta salad, chill for 1 - 2 hours (or up to 3 days).
