Insalata di Pasta alla Siciliana

Sicilian Pasta Salad

1/2 pound Penne or Farfalle pasta
1/2 cup spicy green olives
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1/2 jar seasoned peppers in oil, diced (reserve some oil for
dressing)
1 jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained coarsely chopped
1/2 jar marinated eggplant, drained
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon of dried basil, oregano or other favorite herbs
Sea salt and ground pepper to taste

Cook pasta for 2 minutes less than directed on the package so that it will
not get too soft as it sits in the dressing; rinse immediately under cold
running water. Add the remaining ingredients, plus salt and pepper to
taste; mix well. Chill until served. Stir again before serving.

Note: Other possible additions: chunky tuna, grated Parmesan or Romano
cheese, crumbled feta cheese, cooked shrimp, slivered sun-dried
tomatoes, broccoli florets or other vegetable favorites, slivered
prosciutto, or roasted red peppers. Serves 4.
