Antipasto Pasta Salad

"This Antipasto Pasta Salad is loaded with flavor from pepperoni, bell pepper, tomatoes, olives, and mozzarella cheese, all dressed in a tasty red wine vinaigrette. It is the ideal stand-alone meal for those hot summer days and nights, or as a side dish with all your favorite grilled meats and seafood. Use a spider strainer to drain the pasta, then transfer it to a well-seasoned baking sheet. This keeps the pasta from sticking to itself in a colander. It is better to tear basil rather than chop it. It helps preserve its unique smell and taste and keeps the edges of the leaves from browning."
