Begin with the Cucumber and Tomato Salad, I use the long green onions instead of slicing a whole sweet onion for this dish. You will need one whole bottle of Garlic Expressions.
Add about 1/2 cup diced ham or meat of your choice (pepperoni etc) sometimes I use both.
add 1 can of drained pitted black olives
about 1/3 of a whole, red, yellow and green pepper, diced. (all three kinds)
a bunch of green onions, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
8 0z cubed mozzarella cheese
8 0z cubed colby/jack cheese
about 6-8 oz of your favorite pasta. I prefer shells. (cooked and drained)
toss drained and cooled pasta with about 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Combine all and toss gently. This is one of those that gets better with age so you can make it the day before. Want it extra special? Try adding some small cubes of pepper jack cheese, or a blended herb and garlic cheese. Also, really goes over well at potlucks etc.! You can easily double or triple the recipe and make a huge batch. Just remember to buy enough Garlic Expressions if you do! The sauce definitely makes this special!
