To cook pasta: bring a large pot of water to a boil, season with salt and cook pasta until just under package instructions or very al dente. Stir the pasta frequently throughout, then strain and rinse under cold water for a moment. Spread the pasta on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, allow to cool completely. While the pasta cools, prepare the vinaigrette in a small mixing bowl by combining red wine vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic. While whisking, drizzle olive oil in a slow, steady stream to ensure that the dressing is emulsified. Set aside. Transfer cooled pasta to a large mixing bowl and combine with prepared dressing and all remaining ingredients. Mix together and chill for at least an hour before serving. Serves 4-6.
Estimated per serving. Salt added “to taste” is not included in this pilot calculation.
