The Most Extra Italian Pasta Salad

Go ahead and file this one under my favorite summer recipes- it’s that good! Pasta salad is one of my favorite summer dishes and I especially love Italian ingredients in pasta salad. I started out wanting to make a basic summer Italian pasta salad but just kept finding more and more ingredients I wanted to add! I decided to just throw every possible favorite ingredient I could think of into one super extra Italian pasta salad. It has a little bit of everything- crispy pancetta, salami, pepperoni, toasty pine nuts, roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, fresh arugula and tomatoes, feta AND mozzarella cheese, and a perfectly light and tangy lemony oil and vinegar dressing. I also used two different varieties of pasta to add even more texture and surprise to each bite! Find the full list of ingredients and instructions below!

It makes this recipe even easier, just one more reason to make more lasagna!
