Ingredients

  • 1 box Spiral noodles (rotini pasta)
  • 1 cup Pepperoni chopped
  • 1 cup Banana peppers roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Tomatoes chopped
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese cubed or shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese shredded

Sauce and Seasoning

  • 1 cup Italian dressing
  • 1 cup Ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Seasoned salt
  • 2 teaspoons Black pepper

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta in boiling water until it is tender, but not mushy (al dente). Drain the water and place the pasta in a large bowl.
  • Add the chopped pepperoni, banana peppers, tomatoes, and both of the cheeses to the bowl. Use a spoon to combine well.
  • Next add both of the dressings, and all of the seasonings to the bowl. Mix until it is fully incorporated and all of the dressing is coating the pasta and add-ins.
  • Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.

Notes

Packets of dressing can be used instead of bottles- dressing must be prepared according to the package instructions though.
