Tender rigatoni pasta, onion, and black olives marinate in a tangy-sweet vinegar and sugar mixture overnight to create a deliciously simple side dish. Or, add protein for a main dish salad.
0 Cook the rigatoni until overdone. Yep. Overdone. Nope. I am not kidding. Do not try this with a la dente pasta it won't work. It needs to be very cooked, but still hold it's shape.
1 Drain.
8 Mix vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
2 Pour the vinegar and sugar mixture over the hot pasta.
3 Dump the handful of herbs on it.
4 Mix thoroughly and let cool.
5 Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
6 Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
7 Stir gently before serving - you may need to add a little more of the vinegar sugar mixture.
