Step-by-Step Instructions for Italian Pasta Salad
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fusilli pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente, then rinse under cold water to cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, pepperoncini brine, shallots, garlic, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth and emulsified.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled pasta, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, mini sweet peppers, and spinach. Add olives, provolone, and parmesan, and toss together.
- Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, toss again and serve chilled or at room temperature.
