I don’t know about you, but when I think of the holidays I think of family, reading a good book by the fireplace, drinking hot chocolate and eating lots and lots of food. My family shares the best Holiday recipes from candies to comfort food. We get together every year to throw a big Christmas party and make special treats. To prepare, we decorate, set a theme and prepare a menu. This year, that menu will include my version of a delicious Mezzetta recipe: Pasta Salad.

Ingredients:
1 bag of Whole Wheat Pasta
Light Italian Dressing
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Mezzetta Peperoncini Peppers
Mezzetta Roasted Bell Pepper Strips
Mezzetta Castelvetrano Whole Green Olives

Directions:

Boil the noodles and drain. Pour them in a large mixing bowl. Chop peppers. Add the peppers, olives and Italian dressing to the mixing bowl (add as many as you prefer) and stir it all up. Top with Parmesan cheese. Store the dish in the fridge until party time!

This recipe is so easy, delicious and it looks so festive for the holidays! This is the perfect side dish to any holiday meal and is a big hit with my family. The Mezzetta peppers and olives make this dish. The flavors are outstanding.
