Cheryl's Pasta Salad

1 box of bowtie pasta cooked and cooled ( I toss with a small amount of Olive Oil to keep it from sticking together)
Roasted Red Pepper cut into small pieces (approx 1/2 from the jar)
Black olives sliced (1 small can)
1 cup of frozen peas
1 bunch of scallions thinly sliced white and green parts
1/2 inch chunks of diced diced Monterey Jack cheese- 1 block
1/2 inch chunks of diced Cheddar cheese
2 cups of 1/2 inch chunks of ham from a 1/2 inch thick slice (I have this cut into a 1/2 inch piece from the deli).

I always use the items listed above and sometimes add the items listed below:
Thin strips of salami
1 can of marinated artichokes sliced

Mix all ingredients together and serve tossed with Tuscan Italian Salad Dressing and Parmesan cheese. Note: I only mix the dressing with the amount we are eating then the rest can be refrigerated and served later. Serve with garlic bread for a Summer meal.
