Pasta Salad with Italian Dressing

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain the water then add the pasta to a large bowl and toss with ¼ cup of the Italian salad dressing.

Step 2

While the pasta is boiling, crispy the prosciutto. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat then add the prosciutto in a single(ish) layer. Let it cook until it shrinks and becomes crisp then turn it over and cook it for another minute on the other side. Remove it from the pan and crumble it a little into a bowl.

Step 3

Add the bocconcini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, basil, parsley, banana peppers, crispy proscuitto, and parmesan cheese to the bowl with the pasta. Pour the remaining dressing over the top then toss to coat.
