Recipe type: Pasta/Salad
Serves: 15 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) box of fusilli pasta
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 package Spicy Italian Dressing mix, just the dry packet; do not add the ingredients listed on the pkg. (Can use regular Italian Dressing mix if you can't find the spicy one.)
  • 4 ounces sliced black olives
  • 1 cup sliced or cubed Genoa Salami (Peppered is delicious if you can find it.)
  • 4-5 green onions, sliced (approx. ¾ cup; use the white and green parts)
  • ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
  1. In a large pot of salted, boiling water, cook the fusilli to al dente. Drain the pasta in a strainer and run it under cold water until the pasta has cooled.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, and Spicy Italian Dressing mix.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled pasta, sliced olives, salami, green onions, parsley, and ¾ of the dressing mixture. (Reserve a half cup to mix in right before serving.)
  4. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
  5. Enjoy!
