How To Make Zesty Italian Dressing Pasta Salad - Classic Italian Pasta Salad Recipe

Hey guys , I'm back today with another solid recipe today .

I'm gonna be showing you guys how to make Italian dressing pasta salad .

What you're gonna do first is get a pot of water , fill it up and place it over high heat .

OK ?

We're going to wait until it comes to a boil you .

Once the pot of water comes to a boil you , we're gonna add our tricolor rotini noodles .

OK ?

A lot of people don't use these seasonings , but I like to add just a hint of salt , a little bit of black pepper and some Italian seasoning just to enhance the Italian flavor .

OK ?

I also like to use a little grated Parmesan cheese .

So make sure you have some grated Parmesan cheese and of course the main ingredient , Italian dressing .

Make sure you have that obviously .

All right .

So make sure you have salt pepper .

Italian seasoning , grated Parmesan cheese and Italian dressing .

What I did was chopped up some frozen broccoli into small pieces and you can use however much broccoli you want , I chopped up a small piece of red A K A purple onion into really small pieces .

You don't want your onions to be big .

You don't want to bite into big chunks of onions .

So make sure you only use a small amount and make sure you chop that small amount up into really , really fine pieces .

You don't wanna use many onions at all .

OK ?

Cause that's strong .

Here , we have a cucumber that I diced up into small pieces .

I remove the seeds .

I don't like to add the seeds to my salad .

You can discard them or keep them if you like for decoration purposes .

I like to add a small amount of sliced black olives .

It's only about 10 to 15 of them .

And I slice a half of tomato up into small pieces and I add a few sweet grape tomatoes .

I keep some whole and I dice them up .

Ok .

So here are all the vegetables that I like to put in my Italian pasta salad .

You can add green peppers or whatever vegetables you choose to add .

But you want to follow my recipe .

These are the vegetables that I like in my salad .

All right .

Ok , guys .

So our water has come to a boil you .

So we're going to add our multicolored noodles , right ?

And we're not gonna cook these for long at all when they gonna let them boil you for about , hey , for 10 minutes .

So I'll get back with you guys once they're done , we're not gonna avoid them long because we don't want them to be bloated .

Ok .

So it's about 8 to 10 minutes or so .

So , as you can see the pasta is done now , we're gonna get ready to drain it .

Make sure not to let your pasta sit in the hot water too long after it's done because it'll continue cooking and blow it up .

All right .

So after it's done , you want to drain it immediately ?

Ok .

So let's let our noodles sit for at least a half an hour .

OK .

Give them time to cool off and then we'll mix everything together .

What you're gonna do is you're gonna get a big mixing bowl into the mixing bowl .

You're gonna add your noodles may have to break them up a little bit .

They've been sitting for a while .
