Italian Pasta Salad

Quick and easy!  We make this a lot at my house!  The kids love to take it to school for lunch or have it is an after school snack.

Italian Pasta Salad
16 oz. tri color rotini
1/2 bag of mini pepperoni slices
1 can olices, halved
1 small can mushroom slices (or 7 fresh mushrooms, sliced.  The fresh fall apart easily so I use canned)
1/2 container grape tomatoes, halved (or a can of diced tomatoes)
1/2 bottle Italian dressing (I prefer the Kraft brand for this.  It is the only time I use bottled dressing)
      Cook the rotini according to the package directions for al dente, minus one minute.  The cooked pasta will absorb some of the dressing and soften so if you don't want soggy pasta (yuck) it's better to undercook it just a teeny tiny bit!  Add the pepperoni, olices, mushrooms and tomatoes and stir together.  Pour the dressing over the salad and gently stir to combine.  Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.  Or you can chop 6-7 and stir them right in!
