Hope you all are enjoying your summer, check out the Italian pasta recipe, its great for hot days, bbq's ,picnics or potlucks!!!

italian pasta salad (quick fix side dish)

Hands-On Time: 15 minutes
Ready In: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients

8 oz. uncooked rotini pasta 4 cups of a combination of the following: diced salami or pepperoni diced mozzarella cheese diced plum tomato halved black olives diced green peppers cannelini beans 2 cups Italian dressing* Parmesan cheese for garnish

Directions

1. Cook the pasta until done to desired tenderness and drain well. Al dente is best since soaking in dressing can cause the pasta to become mushy. Cool completely.
2. Toss with meat, mozzarella, tomato, olives, peppers, beans and dressing.
3. Garnish with parmesan cheese.
4. Chill for an hour before serving.

I enjoy making this dish to go with a bbq as a sidedish, I dont always add the meat to it i feel the veggies taste just as good without it.

review

This is my first ever review of a website I came across food.com while searching for an at home windex recipe that I could make without spending alot of money, and what I found was an awesome place to not only find food recipes but cleaning solutions as well. They have a community where you can search forums and post on a topic like special diets or kitchen appliances and gadgets see what someone else thinks about that food chopper lol, or you can search through their wide variet of over 40,000 recipes from ground beef to shrimp. So far it has been worth joining the site and trying out a few recipes along the way :) they also have cook books such as weight watchers for those trying to lose a few pounds!

I love the site and plan on using it in the future, so go check out food.com
