Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add tri-color rotini pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 9-11 minutes. Drain and rinse under cool running water to stop cooking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together creamy Caesar salad dressing, basil pesto, a pinch of salt, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Combine the drained pasta with the dressing in a large mixing bowl. Stir until every piece of pasta is coated.
- Fold in chopped Roma tomatoes, sliced black olives, shredded Parmesan cheese, and toasted pine nuts into the pasta mixture.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let flavors meld. Stir in more Caesar dressing if it appears dry after chilling.

Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for maximum flavor. Rinse pasta with cold water to prevent mushiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
