📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook the pasta. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Once a boil is reached, salt the water and add the pasta. Cook according to the package directions, or until al dente. Immediately drain the pasta and run cold water over it for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes, stirring often to help cool it.
2
Assemble the Salad. Add the cooked and cooled pasta to a large salad bowl, along with the pepperoni, cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, mini mozzarella balls, black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese. Toss well to combine.
