Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside. Chop the fresh parsley finely.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain and rinse it under cold water to cool it down quickly. This also stops the cooking process.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, olives, and mozzarella.
Pour the Italian dressing over the pasta mixture. Toss everything together gently until well coated.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top and give the salad one final toss.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your Italian Pasta Salad!
