Step:
If you dont have red wine vinegar, you can use Italian salad dressing instead and leave out the Olive oil. I make this both ways and they are both good. I use about Half a bottle of Italian dress, use as much or little as you like.
Cook rotini in a pot of boiling water for 7-9 minutes, or until done. Drain and rinse pasta under cold water until cool.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together oil, parmesan cheese, vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Place cooked pasta, vinegar mixture, and remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl, turning to coat all ingredients. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes- I dont use cubed cheese, I used shredded, its what I have on hand most of the time.
Ingredients
16 oz colored rotini (I used 12oz)
3/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
8 oz mozzarella cheese cubed
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese cubed
cherry tomatoes halved
Sliced black olives (optional)
pepperoni sliced ( I cut mine in half, can also use mini pepperoni
