Colorful Italian Pasta Salad
Ingredients
  • 2 cups colored rotini pasta
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
Instructions
1
Fill a large pot with salted water and heat it until the water reaches its boiling point. Introduce rotini into the pot and continue to boil, stirring occasionally, until the pasta reaches your desired level of doneness, approximately 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool down slightly by draining the water.
2
In a separate container, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend the ingredients together until they form a cohesive mixture. Add fresh basil leaves to the bowl and mix well.
3
Combine the cooled rotini with cherry tomatoes, sliced bell pepper, pitted olives, and a dash of your preferred seasonings. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are well incorporated.
4
Transfer the pasta mixture to a refrigerated container and allow it to chill for an extended period of time, ranging from 3 hours to overnight. Before serving, give the mixture a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients.
