Target recipe: cook pasta according to directions, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. while pasta is cooking, chop tomato, peppers and onion into very small pieces. add olives and mix. drain rotini; rinse with cold water for about 3 minutes. mix pasta with tomato, peppers, onion and olives. refrigerate for about 1/2 an hour. add salad dressing; mix well. add parmesan cheese; mix well. serve immediately. if you have left overs, you will have to "re-wet" salad by adding a little more salad dressing the next day, especially if you substitute the dressing with a fat-free dressing.
