Title: Classic Pasta Salad Kraft

Ingredients:
– 1 pound fusilli pasta
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cup cucumber, diced
– 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
– 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
– 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 cup Kraft Italian Dressing
– 1/2 cup Kraft Parmesan Cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Cook the fusilli pasta according to the package instructions. Make sure to cook it al dente for the perfect texture. Once cooked, drain the pasta and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow it to cool completely.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, red onion, green bell pepper, and fresh parsley. Mix everything well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

3. Add the cooled pasta to the bowl of vegetables. Gently toss the pasta and vegetables together to combine.

4. Pour the Kraft Italian Dressing over the pasta salad. The dressing will add a burst of flavor and help bring all the ingredients together. Toss everything together until the pasta and vegetables are well coated in the dressing.

5. Sprinkle the Kraft Parmesan Cheese over the pasta salad. The cheese will add a savory and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the vegetables and dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss everything once more to combine.

6. Refrigerate the pasta salad for at least an hour before serving. Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the overall taste.

7. Before serving, give the pasta salad a final toss to ensure that the dressing and cheese are evenly distributed. You can garnish with extra parsley or Parmesan cheese for an added touch of freshness.
