I just love pasta salads. They are a great way to cheaply feed a lot of people and can have some great flavours! I made this yummy side dish for our BBQ last Sunday. This dish is easy to make and turned out to be a big hit at the party (no leftovers). It can either be served chilled or heated, delicious either way.

Prep: 20 minutes
Chill: 60 minutes
Makes: about 10 cups

Ingredients

• 4 cups mezzo rigatoni or penne pasta, cooked
• 2 medium tomatoes, chopped (about 2 cups)
• 12 slices (about 1 1/2 cups) pepperoni or salami, chopped
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup Italian dressing

Steps

1. Toss all ingredients.
2. Pour into serving bowl, cover, and chill for at least an hour to allow flavours to blend.
