INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta and Meat

    • 12 ounces rotini pasta
    • 6 slices thick-cut bacon

  • Dressing

    • 1 cup bloody mary mix
    • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons pepperoncini brine

  • Vegetables and Toppings

    • 🍅 1 pint cherry tomatoes
    • 1 cup celery
    • 1 (7 ounce) block white Cheddar
    • 1/2 cup pimento-stuffed green olives
    • 1 cup pepperoncini

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add rotini, and cook until tender with a bite, about 9 to 11 minutes. Drain and arrange on a large rimmed baking sheet to cool, approximately 30 minutes.

3

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and discard drippings.

4

Whisk together bloody mary mix, olive oil, horseradish, and pepperoncini brine in a medium bowl until emulsified. Set aside.

5

Combine cooled pasta, cooked bacon, cherry tomatoes, celery, Cheddar, olives, and sliced pepperoncini in a large bowl. Pour dressing over pasta mixture and toss to coat. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 1 hour to meld the flavors.
