Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package rotini or fusili pasta

8 ounces provolone cheese, cubed
4 ounces Genoa salami, chopped
4 ounces sliced pepperoni, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 ounces hot capacola sausage, roughly chopped
1 medium red onion, minced

1/2 cup giardiniera
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian salad dressing, or as needed

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
