Betty Crocker's Simply Pasta- Pepperoni Caesar Pasta Salad

It's delicious. Let's just start with that. And very easy to make.

I normally don't make box meals but I decided to try this one.

The regular Simply Pasta Caesar Pasta Salad recipe calls for (from the website) 1/4 cold water and 3 tablespoons of  although I used 1/4 vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of cold water which is what the back of the box said. Mix this with the pack of seasoning and set aside.

Then boil the noodles for about 15 minutes drain and rinse, drain well.

Mix the noodles with the mixture and voila! That's the regular pasta salad done.

To spice it up with more "stuff" you need:

         2 cups frozen broccoli florets, thawed and drained

         1 cup of pepperoni slices, ready to eat

         1 medium tomato, coarsely chopped (3/4 cups)

         1 jar (2.5 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained

Follow the direction to make the regular pasta as stated above and add these ingredients for a spectacular Pepperoni Caesar Pasta Salad that your family is sure to enjoy. Serve or refrigerate immediately .
