Italian Pasta Salad

• 1 package rotini pasta cooked and drained ( I used the vegetable, colored kind)
• brocoli florets boiled, and cut into bite sized pieces
• 1 package pepperoni pieces sliced in half or small pepperonis
• Mozzerella Cheese cubed or cut 10-12 mozzerella sticks into cubes
• 20-30 cherry tomatoes
• 1-2 c. chopped olives
• 1 bottle of your favorite italian dressing ( I used hidden valley)
• 1 c. finely shredded parmesan cheese

Combine all the ingredients except dressing and parmesan cheese in a large bowl and mix. pour dressing on slowly while continuing to mix. The pasta will soak up the dressing so add more than you might think or pour on some more right before serving. I mix in the parmesan cheese at the end. Refridgerate until ready to eat!
