Ingredients:

Serving

10 oz penne pasta
half pint red cherry tomatoes, halved
half pint yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
i don'tsp always have both colors, all red is fine
4 oz baby spinach leaves - stems chopped off
1 can jumbo ripe olives, drained , slice olives in half lengthwise
about 1/4 cup chopped roasted red pepper
1/4 medium red onion, chopped fine
about 1/2 a keilebasa, diced small
half lb thick cut bacon, cut into small pieces and fried crisp
4 oz mozzerella cheese, cut into small cubes , or, bite size balls, halved
1 bottle good italian dressing (i use ken's 3 cheese northern italian
3 tsp parmesan
garlic pepper

Directions:

Cook pasta in water well salted with kosher salt and a drizzle of olive oil, until al dente
Rinse well with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the pasta
While pasta is cooking cut tomatoes and olives into large mixing bowl
Add red pepper, onion, kielbasa
Add pasta when cool
Mix together parmesan and a few shakes of garlic pepper and salad supreme
Pour about 3/4 bottle of dressing over the pasta mixture, add parmesan mixture and mix all together well
((At this point, I put in fridge over night and finish before serving.))
About half an hour before serving, fry bacon and lay on paper towel
Tear / chop any stems off spinach leaves
Cube cheese
Add bacon, spinach and cheese to salad.
Stir and taste, I usually add a little more dressing/spices as needed as the pasta will soak up some of the dressing overnight.
