Ingredients

8 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
  • 0.5 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
  • 2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons jarred minced garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, or to taste
  • 1 cup diced Asiago cheese
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until tender. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in enough olive oil to coat, but not so that it pools at the bottom of the bowl. Mix in the red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, parsley, oregano and Asiago cheese. Mix in the Parmesan cheese. Refrigerate until 20 minutes before serving. If the pasta soaks up a lot of the oil, you may need to add more. Taste the salad as you are preparing it, you may like more or less ingredients.
