Ingredients

  • 3 cups uncooked farfalle (bow-tie) pasta (6 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup cubed mozzarella cheese (2 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup chopped drained pepperoncini peppers (bottled Italian peppers)
  • 1/4 cup pitted ripe olives, cut in half
  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni (about 20 slices)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 2x1/4-inch strips
  • 1/2 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise in half, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 package (9 ounces) frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, drained and cut into fourths

Steps

  • 1
    Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Rinse with cold water; drain.
  • 2
    Mix vinegar, basil, capers, oil and garlic powder. In large glass or plastic bowl, toss pasta, vinegar mixture and remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors but no longer than 24 hours.

  • Cutting cubes of mozzarella is a breeze if you start with a well-chilled block of cheese.
  • Pepperoncini peppers, also called Tuscan peppers, are a variety of chile pepper with a slightly sweet and spicy-hot flavor. They are most often sold pickled and are used in many antipasto dishes.
