Darn good penne pasta salad

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

Getting a recipe out of Taylor is like pulling teeth. He made this the other day, and it was truly delicious. Like, better than deli-style pasta salad. Good enough that we're making it again for lunches this week. But when Taylor's in the kitchen, it's like his mind is somewhere else. Ask him two seconds later just how much olive oil he added... blank stare. So the fact that you're actually getting a rough estimation of this recipe is cause for celebration. Seriously. Why don't you go make this pasta salad and have a party? Darn Good Penne Pasta Salad Makes 4 servings. Recipe from somewhere in Taylor's brain. Ingredients 1lb penne pasta 1/2 cup assorted green & black greek olives, pitted and halved 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (or 2-3 roma tomatoes, diced) 1/4 cup fresh basil, finely chopped 1/4 cup peppercinis, thinly sliced seasoned feta cheese (we used peppercorn flavored) For dressing: 1/4 cup (ish) red wine vinegar, or to taste 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard 1/2 cup olive oil
