Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the tri-color rotini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, generally about 7-9 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cooled rotini with Kraft's Zesty Italian dressing. Use a spatula to gently toss the pasta until it's evenly coated with the dressing.

Next, sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, sweet basil, onion powder, and garlic powder. Toss everything together, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

Now, take a generous handful of grated Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the pasta mixture. Gently fold the cheese into the salad, making sure it’s well-distributed.

At this stage, feel free to incorporate any of your favorite add-ins such as olives, cubed cheese, or fresh veggies. Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
