Pasta Salad Recipe Made With Spaghetti Noodles

How to Cook Pasta for Pasta Salad

Cook pasta according to package directions but maybe just a minute longer than normal. Make sure to add enough salt to the water. Taste the water before adding the pasta. Drain pasta quickly and put the cooked pasta back in the pan. To prevent sticking, pour a little bit of the Italian dressing on the noodles and stir to combine.

How to Prepare the Cheese for Pasta Salad

Buy a block of cheese and cut this into small cubes. The advantage to buying a block of cheese is it’s much cheaper.

What Pepperoni?

We like to buy a pepperoni stick and cut this into thicker pieces. You can also get your pepperoni from the deli and cut these pepperoni slices into smaller pieces.

How to Store Leftover Pasta Salad

Simply store leftovers in an airtight container for about 3-4 days.  Leftover pasta salad makes a great lunch.
