First, prepare the roasted peppers:
If using the oven, roast them for 25 minutes at 450°F/230°C.
If using an air fryer, roast them for 20 minutes at 390°F/200°C.
Let them cool in a sealed freezer bag. Peel them and cut them into strips. Then set them aside.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in boiling water. Drain it when al dente and run it under cold water to stop cooking
Now transfer the pasta to a salad bowl and add the peppers, diced mozzarella, corn, pepper, dried rosemary, and olive oil.
Mix well and taste. It may be low in salt because it has been run under water, so if so, add it according to your taste
Cold pasta with peppers, corn and mozzarella cheese is ready!
