INGREDIENTS
1 Pound Corkscrew Pasta
12 Ounces Marinated Artichoke Hearts
8 Ounces Cubed Smoked Mozzarella
8 Ounces Cubed Pepperoni
3 Tablespoons Chopped Peperoncini
¼ Cup Chopped Fresh Basil Leaves
½ Cup Halved Cherry Tomatoes
¼ Cup Chopped Kalamata Olives
Dressing
1 Clove Finely Chopped Garlic
2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
¼ Cup Olive Oil
1/3 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/3 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water as directed on the package. Make sure that you don’t overcook the pasta as you always want it al dente. Drain well and cool. Drain and quarter the artichoke hearts. In a large bowl combine the pasta, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, pepperoni, tomatoes, peperoncini, olive and basil. Combine well. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss the dressing with the pasta mixture. Serve chilled or room temperature. Serves 4
