SUPREME PIZZA PASTA SALAD



Supreme Pizza Pasta Salad image

This recipe comes straight from Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals. It really does taste like a Supreme Pizza. The best part is, you make it the day before you want to serve it and refrigerate. The cook time, is really chill time. I put down 2 hours, but it is really better the next day. NOTE: The original recipe calls for a pound of mozzarella cheese, but I only use 1/2 pound. If you like a lot of cheese...go for a pound!!!!

PIZZA PASTA SALAD



Pizza Pasta Salad image

My sister, Patty sent me this recipe so I had to try it. It is the best pasta salad recipe and so easy to make. I did change a few things from the recipe though when I made it. I made my own italian dressing and added a little balsamic vinegar to it. Turned out great. I hope you enjoy.

Provided by Kathy Burwell

Categories     Pasta Sides

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

16 oz rotini pasta
1 c pepperoni (i used 5 oz bag of mini pepperonis)
1 can(s) black olives, sliced
1 c mozzarella, (i used 6 string cheeses cut)
1/4 c parmesan cheese
1 c tomatoes, diced (i used small cherry tomatoes)
1 bottle bernstein's restaurant recipe italian dressing (i made my own and added balsamic vinegar)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta according to package directions. I always cook mine al dente. Drain and cool. (I put ice in the bowl with the pasta to make it cool faster)
  • 2. While pasta is cooking, prepare all other ingredients so they will be ready to add to the pasta when it is done.
  • 3. Add all ingredients to the pasta and mix. Refrigerate and serve. I would say that this is better the second day, but I am not sure because we do not ever have any left over.
