 There are days the kids leave at 8 in the morning and most times aren’t home until 8 o’clock at night. This means dinner is rushed and can be crazy.   One of my family’s favorites for dinner is pizza!  I always try to serve up a side item with pizza so it’s not just pizza for dinner.  Sticking with the pizza theme for dinner I whipped up Pizza Pasta Salad. 

Easy Pizza Pasta Salad Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 lb of Rotini Pasta
• 4 oz Pkg Mini Pepperonis
• 2.5 Oz Pkg Real Bacon Bits
• 1 Cup Italian Salad Dressing
• 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
• Chopped Green Pepper
• 1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese
• Quartered Cherry Tomato
• Chopped Purple Onion
• Basil
• Italian Seasoning

How To Make Pizza Pasta Salad Recipe:

Start a pot of water to boil and cook your pasta up.

Strain your pasta and allow it to cool, I put mine in a bowl in the freezer to cool faster.  I used to strain my pasta in an over the sink strainer so I can rinse it with cold water if I don’t’ have time to chill it in the freezer.

Start to chop up your veggies, you could also add more veggies if you want my family is just picky about veggies.

Once your pasta is cooled in a large bowl start to dump everything in a large bowl and mix well. Now I combined the potatoes and the dressing together up in a Tupperware Mega Bowl. 

My mom got this for me and it has been amazing at mixing everything!! It’s called THATSA® MEGA BOWL and we have used it for everything.  You can head over -> here to shop, I earn nothing from this it’s just a rep I love.  I also found these bowls on Amazon as well -> here!!

A lot of this can be to taste and changed up however your family will like it.

Refrigerate and serve cold.

What do you serve with your pizza??
