Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the tri-color rotini pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled rotini pasta with cherry tomatoes, sliced pepperoni, red onion, green bell pepper, mozzarella, grated parmesan, and olives. Gently toss to mix.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil and red wine vinegar until emulsified. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, whisking to combine.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the pasta mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.
- Before serving, let the salad sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, then toss again to redistribute the ingredients.
