Rotty's Everything-but -the-kitchen-sink Pasta Salad

hahahaha! I basically lived off this in the summer time back home. We were super broke and didn't have AC in out 2nd story apartment. In the peak heat of the season it was hard to function let alone cook. So I took a recipe my mom used to make and a salad my husband made once to make this recipe!

Everything-But-The-Kitchen-Sink Pasta Salad Ingredients:
1 box of your choice of pasta - my go to pasta is bow-tie, but what ever you have on hand is just spiffy.
2 sweet peppers
1/2 red onion
2 cucumbers
cherry tomatoes or 2 roma tomatoes (or whatever floats your boat tomatoes)
some turkey-peperoni
mozzarella
1 jar olives
1 bottle fat free Italian dressing
Parmesan cheese.

1) chop the ingredients and toss in a bowl

(I normally do the peppers first. No, the colors don't matter. I just like to switch it up for color)
(next I add the cucumbers, you can leave the skin on if you want. tomatoes, and onion. Bri prefers red onion.)
(Next I add the peperoni, I quarter them, makes for easier bites)

(next I cube the mozzarella. I use non fat part skim mozzarella to take the calories down)
(next add the olives)

2) meanwhile, boil the pasta till tender. drain, and rinse with cold water till cool to the touch.
place in bowl with veggies
3) Poor in Italian Dressing

4) add a fair amount of parmesian cheese.
5) Toss


Now you have the best pasta salad ever!!! It makes for good left overs the next day. but day 2 is a little soggy.
ENJOY!!!
