8 ounces thin spaghetti (roughly broken into thirds or quarters, about 2-3 inches long)
2 cups grape tomatoes (sliced in half)
1 English cucumber (diced into ½-inch pieces, about 1½ cups)
3 red, yellow, orange, or green bell peppers (diced into ½-inch pieces, about 3 cups)
½ medium red onion ( sliced very thin and roughly chopped, about ¾ cup)

Steps

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Break the pasta as directed, and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse the pasta until cold.
While the pasta is cooking, halve the tomatoes and dice the other vegetables. Then, combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, bell pepper, onion, and olives in a large bowl. Add the cooled pasta to the bowl with the vegetables.
Pour the Italian salad dressing over the pasta and vegetables. Stir to coat everything well.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds, paprika, celery seeds, and Parmesan cheese. Stir again to mix throughout. Serve or refrigerate until ready to eat.
