Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound (16 ounce) box penne pasta
  • 8 ounce package whole pepperoni
  • 8 ounce package mozzarella cheese
  • 16 ounce bottle of your favorite Italian dressing
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instruction

  • In a large stock pot of boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente (following the directions on the back or side of the box).
  • When finished cooking, drain and rinse pasta with cool water. Let it drain well, then add to a large bowl.
  • Chop up all the mozzarella and pepperoni into 1-inch cubes. Add to cooled pasta in the bowl.
  • Slice the grape tomatoes in half (I usually cut them lengthwise) and add to the bowl.
  • Pour the Italian dressing on top (using as little or as much as you like). Give it all a good stir.
  • Finally add shredded Parmesan Cheese and give it another good stir.
  • Cover with plastic wrap or a fitted lid. Then pop the bowl into the refrigerator to cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
