- To make the dressing: toss all the dressing ingredients together; whisk until well combined, set aside (dressing makes about 1 cup).
- Cook the pasta in a large pot with about 7-8 cups water (cook ONLY until firm tender, small-shell pasta takes very little time to cook!
- )drain, and rinse with cold water.
- Transfer the pasta to a large bowl, and toss with 2 tablespoon oil to prevent pasta from sticking together.
