Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • One 1-lb. package of pasta
  • One 16 oz. bottle of your favorite Italian dressing (we use a light Italian)
  • 16 oz. ham or salami, diced or julienned
  • 1 c. shredded cheese (we use mozzarella)
  • 1 c. quartered grape tomatoes
Instructions
  1. Boil your pasta according to the package directions, then drain & cool it. If I'm in a hurry, I often rinse it in cold water.
  2. Dice your meat (or be lazy like me and buy the package of strips).
  3. Quarter your tomatoes. You can certainly add more if you love tomatoes.
  4. Stir your ingredients together. If you are serving it right away, you will probably only want to use about ¾ of your bottle of dressing. If you are refrigerating it for a few hours or overnight to be served later, the pasta will absorb the dressing and you will need to add the rest.
