- 8 oz pasta (fusilli or rotini)
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. This process usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta and let it cool.

- Coat with Caesar Dressing: Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently, ensuring that every piece of pasta and vegetable is kissed with the dressing.
- Season and Taste: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Give it one last toss and taste to see if it needs a little extra seasoning.
- Serve Up the Goodness: Serve immediately in a big beautiful bowl. If you’re feeling a little decadent, sprinkle croutons on top for that delightful crunch!
Notes
Keep the dressing separate if making ahead of time for optimal freshness.
