Cook the Pasta:
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to the package instructions until it reaches the perfect al dente texture. Drain the pasta and set it aside. -
Prepare the Veggies:
While the pasta is cooking, dice the cucumber and green pepper into bite-sized pieces. Add them to a large mixing bowl. -
Add the Pepperoni:
Slice the pepperoni into thin rounds or quartered slices, and add them to the mixing bowl with the cucumber and green pepper. -
Combine with Pasta:
Once the pasta is drained, immediately add it to the bowl with the vegetables and pepperoni. Toss everything together gently to combine. -
Add Dressing and Cheese:
Drizzle your favorite salad dressing over the pasta mixture. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously on top, and toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated. -
Serve:
Transfer the pepperoni angel hair to serving bowls. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired, and enjoy this quick, flavorful one-dish meal.
Tips for Success:
- Customization: Feel free to add other vegetables, like cherry tomatoes or olives, to make this dish your own.
- Dressing Choices: A creamy Italian dressing or even a balsamic vinaigrette will complement the pepperoni beautifully.
