- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini or penne pasta, and cook it for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water.
- Dice the cucumber, bell peppers, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.
- Shred the Italian beef into bite-sized pieces and dice the ham.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta with the diced vegetables, shredded beef, diced ham, and sliced black olives. Mix well.
