Steps:

• Cook the pasta until it's al dente, don't over cook it or the stuffing will fall out and the pasta will be mushy. While the pasta cooks, stir together all of the remaining ingredients. If you're adding veggies that need a quick blanch before you toss them in, do that while the pasta cooks too. I added olives, but I wanted them to be nice and firm so I added them right before serving.
• When the pasta is done, drain it and rinse it in cold water. Let the pasta cool before you toss it with the dressing. Chill in the fridge for 2-24 hours, and allow the dish to come to room temperature before serving.
