Instructions:
Step 1: Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside to cool.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped romaine, cooled pasta, and Caesar dressing. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 3: Add Parmesan cheese and black pepper, and toss again. Mix in any optional ingredients like croutons, grilled chicken, or cherry tomatoes if desired.
Step 4: Chill in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Step 5: Serve cold, garnished with extra cheese or fresh cracked pepper if desired.
Storage Information:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture, keep dressing separate until ready to serve if preparing in advance.
