Delish! I loved this pasta! Very simple to put together and super tasty! I forgot to put in the black olives and didn't notice this until we were finished eating. It would be great with them though! This is a very versatile dish, nice and light for summer, potlucks, or whatever. I used the red wine vinegar. I would make this again for sure. Thanks so much! Made for Spring PAC 2009
