This is basically the pasta salad my mom made growing up. I like it with lots of meat, cheese & veggies and smaller amounts of pasta. It's easy to alter as well
Ingredients:
8 ounces rotini pasta
2 lbs ham steaks
5 roma tomatoes
1 medium cucumber
8 ounces swiss cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Cut the ham, tomatoes, cucumber and cheese into bite size pieces and put into bowl.
3. Drain pasta and add to bowl.
4. Add olive oil and spices and mix everything together.
5. Note: this works best if pasta has had a chance to cool so it won't melt the cheese.
6. Note: other additions include olives, different cheeses, elbow macaroni, or italian dressing instead of olive oil and spices.
