Pasta Salad
Pasta Salad
1 16-oz. pkg. pasta (medium shells, ziti, rotini) (I use the Italian Trio - for variety)
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced
1 C. Italian dressing of your choice
½-¾ C. grated parmesan cheese (in the tub not the shaker)
Boil pasta until done. Run cold water over it to cool and wash off extra starch. Let cool. Meanwhile, dice the pepper and slice the green onion. Put in a large bowl that has a lid. Add 1 c. dressing to pepper/onion and mix well.
When pasta has cooled sufficiently, add to pepper mixture and stir thoroughly to coat all noodles. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top.
Refrigerate overnight.
Stir again before serving. You can add salt if you think it needs more flavor, but I prefer it as is.
