Ingredients: 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) salted butter; 1 red onion, diced; 4-5 ounces ounces diced prosciutto, pancetta or thick-cut bacon; 12 ounce jar banana peppers, drained (optional for spice) + more for topping; 8 ounce bottle (1 cup) Italian Salad Dressing (use the kind that is clear like an oil); 3 cups garlic or chicken broth (I used 1 tbsp of Garlic Better Than Bouillon + 3 cups of water but you can just use 3 cups of chicken broth instead if you don’t have this and it will still be great); 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning; 1 lb (1 box) Cellentani or Cavatappi (pig-tail shaped pasta); 4 ounces dry salami or soppressata, sliced thin and then into quarters (you can add more if you want it super meaty); 4 ounces pepperoni, sliced thin and then into quarters (you can add more if you want it super meaty); 12 ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and sliced into bite-size pieces; 1/2 cup heavy cream or half & half; 5.2 oz package of Boursin cheese, cut into small crumbles (NOTE: this is usually always found in the deli/cheese/cured meat section of any market and Costco sells it in packs of 3. If you cannot find it, 5 ounces from a brick of cream cheese will do); 1 cup shredded Asiago cheese

I'm going to make you a pasta you can't refuse. Imagine the most loaded Italian hero. Now imagine instead of the bread, we diced up the meat, cheese and dressing and turn it into the most indulgent pasta fit for a Don himself. Don't turn this one down.
