Parker Pasta Salad

A friend of mine asked for this months ago, and I have been a bad friend, and kept forgetting to get it to her...  So hopefully she can forgive me...  :) 

Here is our favorite pasta salad:

Ingredients: 1-16 oz Box of Garden Rotini
6 oz cheese- cubed (any variety, we like to mix it up and use half pepper jack, and half colby)
1 pkg bite size pepperoni ( I use turkey, but you can use regular)
1 powder ranch package ( I forget what they are called, but the powdered ranch dressing)
1-16 oz bottle of zesty Italian dressing
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup parmesan cheese- grated
fresh brocolli
frozen peas- defrosted
fresh cherry or grape tomatoes
black olives

Directions:
1. Boil pasta, drain and set aside.  In a smal bowl mix together, ranch, italian dressing, sour cream, and parmesan cheese- set aside.
2. Pour pasta into large bowl, add cheese, pepperoni, and mix in as many or as little veggies as you would like.  These are the ones I use, but feel free to mix it up!  You can also add, zucchini, carrots, cucumbers, celery, etc.
3. Mix in the dressing mixture, and stir well.  Place into refrigerator and chill for three hours!  Serve cold!

Enjoy!!!
