Notes

Remember to generously salt the water when boiling the pasta.
Provolone cheese can be diced from slices or a block of cheese.
If using English cucumber, wash and dice. If using a regular cucumber, you may want to peel first.
Switch up the shape of pasta or types of vegetables and meats and cheeses if you want.
Some other options: black olives, green olives, hot & sweet peppers, etc.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Serves 12 generously as a side, or around 8 as a main meal.
