Ingredients

• 1 pound pasta (I use rotini but use whatever shape you’d like)
• 1.5 cup Italian dressing, plus more as needed
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup parmesan cheese shredded
• 1/2 cup red onion, minced (about 1 small red onion or 1/2 medium red onion)
• 1 red pepper, small chopped
• 1 green pepper, small chopped
• 1 2.25 ounce can sliced black olives, rinse and drained
• 1 cup fresh basil, chiffonade
• 1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, just until al dente, and drain well. Allow to cool.
2. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until well combined. Season with salt, pepper and lemon to taste.
3. Let the pasta salad marinate in the fridge for at least an hour — the longer the better. But if you need to serve immediately, that’s ok too. After a few hour, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may need to add a bit more dressing as the pasta will absorb a good amount of it.
