Name: Picnic Pasta
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 2 h 30 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta; 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce; 1 cup Italian dressing; 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil; 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano; 5 Roma tomatoes, coarsely chopped; 1 large cucumber, coarsely chopped; 1 (6 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained; 1 medium red onion, chopped

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool.

Mix tomato sauce, Italian dressing, basil, and oregano together in a large bowl. Add pasta, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and red onion; toss. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours.

Cook's Notes:

Use 1 teaspoon dried basil and 1 teaspoon oregano instead of fresh, if desired.

You can add shredded or crumbled cheese (any kind and as much as you like.)
