Ingredients

  1. 1 (16 ounce) package rotini or fusili pasta
  2. 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  3. 8 ounces provolone cheese, cubed
  4. 4 ounces Genoa salami, chopped
  5. 4 ounces sliced pepperoni, cut into bite-sized pieces
  6. 4 ounces hot capacola sausage, roughly chopped
  7. 1 medium red onion, minced
  8. 1 (8 ounce) can black olives, drained
  9. ½ cup giardiniera
  10. ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  11. 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian salad dressing, or as needed

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. Combine pasta, tomatoes, provolone cheese, salami, pepperoni, capicola, onion, olives, giardiniera, Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 of the Italian dressing in a large bowl. Stir to combine and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Before serving, add some or all of the remaining dressing.
  4. I like to use Olive Garden brand Italian dressing. If you can’t find giardiniera, muffaletta mix can be used instead.
