YOU'LL ALSO NEED:
Instructions
- Boil pasta in heavily salted water for one minute less than package directions. Strain and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking. (Do not rinse.) Place in large Mixing Bowl.
- Slice olives into rings. Add to Pasta.
- Stack Pepperoni and cut into strips. Add to Pasta.
- Cut Pepper-Jack into small rectangular cubes. Add to Pasta.
- Add toasted Pine Nuts, Capers and Parmesan Cheese to Pasta.
- Add Shallot Vinaigrette and mix thoroughly. (Note: If you're making in advance, you may have to add a little extra Shallot Vinaigrette at the time of serving as the Pasta tends to absorb it.)
