Supreme Pizza Pasta Salad



Another pasta entry. I really need to get out of my pasta kick. This one is a favorite in our house. I make it at least once a month. I will admit I don't add the mushrooms (Mike isn't a fan) and the pepperoni(I'm not a fan).

When I made this tonight I doubled the sauce, Mike said it was too saucy so it might be better to half the sauce the second go around.


Salad-

2 plum tomatoes, chopped

1/2 red onion, chopped

8 white button mushrooms, sliced

1 green pepper, chopped

1 pepperoni stick, sliced

1 lb mozzarella cheese, diced

basil

bow - tie pasta

Sauce-

1 tsp garlic salt

1 tsp oregano leaves

1 tbls tomato paste

2 tbls red wine vinegar

1/3 cup olive oil

black pepper

Combine salad ingredients, basil and cooked pasta. Whisk garlic salt, oregano, tomato paste and vinegar in a small bowl. Stream in olive oil while continuing to whisk. When oil is incorporated, pour dressing over pasta salad. Add black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Very delicious!
