Whip up a crowd-pleasing pasta salad with rotini, cheese, tomatoes, broccoli, and zesty Italian dressing.
Ingredients:
  • 3 pounds garden rotini pasta
  • 2 (16 ounce) packages steam-in-bag frozen broccoli florets
  • 6 tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 (16 ounce) bottles Italian-style salad dressing
  • 16 ounces Cheddar cheese, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
Instructions:
  • Bring a generously salted pot of water to a boil and cook rotini until al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • Steam one bag of broccoli in the microwave according to package directions for 4 to 6 minutes while the pasta is cooking.
  • After boiling the pasta, give it a refreshing rinse in a colander until it reaches room temperature. Transfer back to the pot and combine with broccoli, tomatoes, salad dressing, Cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir thoroughly and let it cool in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour. Serve when chilled.
