Ingredients
  • 24 oz pasta shells or whatever pasta you prefer
  • 2 Cups chopped ham
  • 1 small pkg. pepperoni, sliced in halves
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 3 small tomatoes, diced
  • 1 large can black olives, chopped
  • 1 small jar green olives, chopped
  • 2 Cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 Cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 small bottle Zesty Italian dressing
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Cook pasta according to directions on package and drain.  While pasta is still warm stir in 1/3 of the dressing so that the pasta wont stick together.  When pasta cools add other ingredients and stir in the rest of dressing.  Make this ahead a few hours and refrigerate so that the flavors can meld.
