Ingredients
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 ounces small pasta shells
3 ounces bocconcini (bite-size fresh mozzarella balls), halved, or regular fresh mozzarella, cut up
1 ounce thinly sliced pepperoni
1/3 cup Kalamata or green olives, pitted and halved
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), sliced
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
4 cups baby spinach
Preparation
In a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Drain, and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking; set aside.
In an airtight container, combine bocconcini, pepperoni, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, oil, and Italian seasoning; season antipasto with salt and pepper. In a separate airtight container, combine cooled pasta and spinach. Refrigerate antipasto and pasta mixture up to overnight. To serve, toss all ingredients together.
