My cousin's wife Rachell gave me this recipe...and she is a GREAT cook so you bet this is yummy!

Rachell's Pasta Salad
1 box of Penne Pasta (or whatever kind of pasta you like)
1 Cucumber
1 Bell Pepper
1 small box of Cherry Tomatoes
3-5 sticks of Mozzarella String Cheese (cubed)
1 can of olives
1 bag of mini pepperoni's
1 small bottle of Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
(optional) 1 small purple onion and you can sprinkle parmesan cheese on top if you like.

Just added all of your chopped veggies, olives, cubed cheese and mini pepperoni's (don't have to cut these cause they are small enough) to your cooked pasta. Then pour the dressing on top!
