Steps:
- 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. Strain pasta and run it under cold water to stop the cooking process; you don't want it to be mushy. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add salad dressing, pepperoni, salami, Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, feta cheese, black olives, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion to the pasta; toss to combine.
- Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente pasta. Drain and rinse with cold water until pasta is room temperature. Place pasta in a large bowl.
- Add cherry tomatoes, pepperoni, onion, bell pepper, mozzarella, parmesan, and olives to the bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, add olive oil, vinegar, italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
- Pour vinaigrette over pasta salad, then toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Pasta salad will keep for 3-4 days, refrigerated in a sealed container. Pasta WILL continue to soak up the dressing the longer it sits, so it may need a splash of olive oil and vinegar if it has been sitting for several hours.

- The Ultimate Bolognese Sauce. This makes enough sauce for three 12-oz. portions of pasta, but leftover sauce is a good thing. Freeze it for next time. Learn more here.
- BA’s Best Baked Ziti. We know ricotta is a traditional addition, but it has a tendency to get dry and grainy when baked. Our update uses a creamy Parmesan béchamel, in addition to a tangy tomato sauce, which together make for a super flavorful finished dish—that won’t dry out in the oven.
- Ligurian Pesto with Spaghetti. This recipe makes more pesto than you'll need. Serve the extra with vegetables or fish, or spread it on sandwiches. View Recipe.
- Cacio e Pepe. Literally "cheese and pepper", this minimalist pasta is like a stripped-down mac and cheese. View Recipe.
- Bucatini with Butter-Roasted Tomato Sauce. Roasting intensifies the flavor of canned tomatoes. View Recipe.
- BA’s Best Macaroni and Cheese. Don’t be alarmed if the sauce looks thin at first: It will continue to thicken as it bakes with the noodles. View Recipe.
- Spaghetti alle Vongole. The briny juices from the clams help to flavor this brothy sauce—the fresher the clams, the better the dish. View Recipe.
- The Silkiest Carbonara. At Pirelli's restaurant in Rome, chef Barbara Lynch ate what was, for her, the perfect carbonara: The sauce was bright yellow from fresh eggs, and each rigatoni hid cubes of fatty guanciale.
- Squash and Broccoli Rabe Lasagna. This vegetarian revelation balances the meaty sweetness of butternut squash with bitter broccoli rabe and a creamy sauce.
- Potato Gnocchi. You're making the gnocchi, so keep everything else simple. A classic tomato sauce and hands-off roasted pork shoulder are the ultimate go-withs.
