Provided by Blue Plate Mayonnaise

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces ditalini pasta (or elbow macaroni)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, roasted and diced
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) sliced salami, cut into strips
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) sliced mortadella, cut into strips
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) sliced capicola (or more salami)
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) sliced provolone cheese, cut into strips
1 1/2 cups New Orleans-style Italian green olive salad
1/2 cup Blue Plate® Mayonnaise
1/8 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Steps:

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop it from overcooking; place in a large bowl and toss the pasta with olive oil to prevent sticking. Add red bell pepper, salami, mortadella, capicola, provolone and olive salad and mix to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and vinegar and pour over pasta. Add parsley and mix to combine. Season to taste. (Be careful not to over-salt as the meats and olive salad already contain salt.)

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/3 cup olive oil
10 large pitted green olives, chopped
1/3 cup pitted, chopped kalamata olives
1/4 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (1-pound) round bread loaf (about 7 inches in diameter and 3 inches high)
4 ounces thinly sliced ham
4 ounces thinly sliced mortadella
4 ounces thinly sliced salami
4 ounces sliced provolone
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 ounces arugula leaves

Steps:

Whisk the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl to blend. Gradually blend in the oil. Stir in the olives and roasted peppers. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with salt and pepper.
Cut the top 1-inch of the bread loaf. Set the top aside. Hollow out the bottom and top halves of the bread. Spread some of the olive and roasted pepper mix over the bread bottom and cut side of the bread top. Layer the meats and cheeses in the bread bottom. Top with the onions, then the arugula. Spread the remaining olive and roasted pepper mix on top of the sandwich and carefully cover with the bread top. You can serve the sandwich immediately or you can wrap the entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator a day before serving.
Cut the sandwich into wedges and serve.
