AMAZING PASTA SALAD



Amazing Pasta Salad image

I found this years ago in a cooking magazine, but lost it in a fire. This is my own, revised version, of that recipe. You can tweak everything from the roast tomatoes recipe to what cheeses/ meats and dressings you use. I prefer this recipe because it's a mixture of sweet, tangy, spicy and sour all in one!

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 1 large mixing bowl, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 ounces rotini pasta
16 ounces balsamic vinaigrette dressing
8 ounces hard salami
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
4 ounces blue cheese
6 roma tomatoes
oregano
basil
parsley
salt
pepper
olive oil
minced garlic

Steps:

  • Cook rotini pasta according to box directions. Complete the rest of the steps while the rotini is cooking.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Dice tomatoes into large squares. Place into a mixing bowl, add some olive oil, basil, parsley, salt, pepper and minced garlic to taste. When satisfied, place tomato mixture in a foil-lined pan (one that has some depth since tomato juices will run) and place in oven until you can smell the tomatoes roasting (about 40 minutes). When they are finished, allow them to completely cool.
  • While tomatoes are roasting, cube up the block of mozzarella cheese, as well as the salami.
  • When pasta finishes, rinse it WELL in cold water until the pasta is completely cooled.
  • Pour pasta into a large bowl. Add mozzarella and salami. Pour entire bottle of dressing over pasta and stir everything. Add blue cheese and cooled tomatoes.
  • Stir and enjoy!

AMAZING PASTA SALAD



Amazing Pasta Salad image

This recipe was given to my mom at a potluck. She didn't write down the measurements so thankfully I was there to watch and take notes. My mom added her own veggies, and extra goodies that made it super yummy. *NOTE, if you're making this ahead of time I would recommend putting everything in the bowl and setting in the fridge EXCEPT the dressing as the salad will soak it up, so add just before serving.

Categories     Peppers

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (12 ounce) package tri-color spiral pasta
1 (6 ounce) can olives
2 zucchini
1 broccoli floret
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 sweet red pepper
1 yellow sweet pepper
1 orange sweet bell pepper
16 ounces Kraft roasted red pepper italian parmesan dressing
1 (12 ounce) can artichoke hearts (quartered)
1 red onion
1 1/2 cups feta cheese (optional)
1 pint mixed mushrooms (sliced) (optional)

Steps:

  • Pasta:.
  • Cook rainbow pasta until aldente.
  • Veggies:.
  • Wash all of the veggies.
  • Break apart the broccoli floret until you're able to cut into small bite sized pieces.
  • Remove seeds from the sweet peppers and chop into bite sized pieces.
  • Drain the Articoke Hearts and chop any that are too large into smaller pieces.
  • Mince a small red onion.
  • Chop zucchinis into bite sized pieces.
  • Give the olives a rough chop.
  • Leave the cherry tomatoes whole, do not chop or cut in half unles you would prefer to have them cut up.
  • Once all of the veggies have been washed and chopped into bite sized pieces put in a large bowl and add the feta cheese if desired.
  • When pasta has cooled add to the veggies. At this point you can add half of the bottle of dressing or set in the fridge and chill until ready to serve. If you're not going to serve immediately it would be best to not add the dressing as the pasta will soak it up and end up dry -- then you'll need to add the rest of the dressing at the time of serving.
  • This is a nice change from the traditional mac salad or potatoe salad served during bbq's.
