return to pot you boiled it in. Remove garlic cloves. In blender combine
garlic cloves, olive oil and black pepper, herbs and vinegar. Blend until
smooth. Pour over pasta. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Serve slightly
chilled.

: This is a nice main dish salad, perfect for a hot summer evening and easy
for a luncheon. I like to make it in the morning, then the flavors have
time to blend. Use fresh herbs if you are serving the salad right away -
sadly, fresh basil turns black so quickly. Save time (and your fingers) by
purchasing pitted olives. The recipe calls for no salt, as the olives are
very salty.
