Creating Eyeball Pasta Salad is a fun and straightforward process! Follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

2. Prepare Veggies: While the pasta cooks, chop your vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the bell pepper and cucumber, and slice the black olives.

3. Make Eyeballs: For each “eyeball,” stack a slice of provolone cheese and a mozzarella ball. Place a whole black olive in the center of the mozzarella ball. Set these aside.

4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, black olives, bell pepper, cucumber, and ranch dressing.

5. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

6. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pasta salad for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

7. Serve: Just before serving, gently toss the salad again. Arrange the eyeball garnish on top, placing them strategically for maximum spookiness!
