Artichoke And Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta Salad

• 2 8-oz. boxes frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, patted dry
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• 1 pound rotini pasta
• 1 7.5-oz. jar sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained, thinly sliced, oil reserved
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
• 1/3 cup pitted green olives, sliced
• 1/4 cup capers, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Zest and 1 Tbsp. juice from 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup chopped, loosely packed flat-leaf parsley

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Toss artichokes with crushed red pepper, garlic and 2 Tbsp. olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer on a large baking sheet and bake until garlic is golden and edges of artichokes begin to brown, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until just tender, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water; drain. Transfer to a serving bowl. Toss with tomatoes, onion, olives and artichokes.
3. In a bowl, roughly mash capers with a fork. Stir in vinegar, mustard and lemon zest and juice. Measure 2 Tbsp. oil from sun-dried tomatoes; add to remaining olive oil. Slowly pour oil into vinegar mixture, whisking. Pour over pasta mixture; toss. Stir in parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
