Directions

Combine sausage, feta cheese, olives, sundried tomatoes, red wine vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl; gently stir together and refrigerate. In a large pot bring salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until just tender; drain. Add to salad, and toss. Check the seasonings and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature, adding the basil and the lemon zest just before serving. Chef’s Tip: When you add olives to a recipe you can avoid adding additional salt.
