Why I Love This Recipe

I got this from a friend some time ago. It is a fast and easy recipe and is wonderful. It can quickly become a standby. Great for a party


Ingredients You'll Need

1 pound tricolor fusili pasta
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 to 3 teaspoons dijon mustard
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup diced sun dried tomatoes
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup fresh basil, julienned
2 large pickled pepperoncini peppers, diced
3 tablespoons halved black olives
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 1/2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1 1/2 tablespoons grated romano cheese
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper


Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente; drain, then rinse with cold water to cool.


Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: Whisk the vinegar, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in enough of the oil to make a smooth dressing; season with salt and pepper.


Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, basil, onion, pepperoncini, olives and oregano in a bowl. Add the cooked pasta, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the vinaigrette and both cheeses and toss. Chill until ready to serve.
