SO WHAT YOU'RE GONNA NEED IS:
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.)
