- Boil 6 pasta water. Add a splash of oil and 1 tablespoon salt. Add pasta. Bring water back to a boil and boil pasta for 10 minutes with a tight fitting lid. Or, as per manufactures directions.
- Drain pasta well and immediately place it in a large bowl. Add 1 bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing, [use your preference] mix and place a tight fitting lid on it. This step will ensure the Italian oils and seasonings seep deep into your pasta.
- ° Put your vegetables and cheeses in another large bowl making sure everything is bite size. ° Look around in your pantry or fridges crisper for any additional vegetables you may want to use in your salad. I found purple, white and green onions, celery, sun dried tomatoes, fresh basil and parsley and employed them all.
- After your pasta has fully steamed and cooled - add your vegetable and cheese mixture and gently fold in to your wet pasta bowl. Add your additional bottle of Zesty Italian - as needed. I usually use about 1 1/2 bottles total.
- Chill in the fridge for a few hours for best results. This dish is even better the following day.
