Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz curly macaroni
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli
  • 1 cup chopped cauliflower
  • 6 oz black olives drained
  • 1 cup Ron’s Mozzarella Cheese Whips torn into smaller pieces
  • 1 cup zesty Italian dressing
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes optional
  • 1 cup mini pepperoni or chopped pepperoni optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Cook curly macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled pasta, chopped broccoli, chopped cauliflower, black olives, and torn Ron’s Mozzarella Cheese Whips.
  3. Pour zesty Italian dressing over the pasta mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Add pepperoni or cherry tomatoes, if using.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  7. Toss again before serving. Add a little extra dressing if needed.

Notes

For best flavor, chill before serving so the dressing can soak into the pasta. Add extra dressing right before serving if the pasta salad has absorbed too much while chilling.
