Instructions

Make dressing first. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine oil, lemon juice, 1 tsp. salt, black pepper, red pepper, garlic and basil; shake until well combined.

In a large kettle, bring 3 quarts water, salt and salad oil to a boil. Add pasta; bring back to boiling. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally with long fork to prevent sticking, just until tender (approximately 7 to 8 minutes). Do not overcook. Drain well; do not rinse.

Turn into large bowl; add dressing, and toss to combine. Cool completely.

To pasta mixture add green and red peppers, sliced mushrooms, provolone cheese, garbanzo beans, salami, olives, and parsley; toss lightly to combine. Turn into serving bowl; refrigerate, covered, for 1 hour.
