Summertime Pasta
I got this recipe from a magazine but the name eludes me. The recipe was submitted by Bob Barker the late host of the Price is Right. Beware this makes a ton.
1 pound tri-color fusilli pasta
3 bell peppers (yellow, red and green), cut into strips
6 oz grape tomatoes, halved (1 cup)
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
1 (6.5-oz) jar marinated artichokes, drained and chopped
1 red onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and transfer to a baking sheet to cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together the bell peppers, tomatoes, olives, artichokes, onion, garlic, olive oil and vinegar. Add the pasta, basil and lemon juice and toss again. Season to taste with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
