Instructions
1. Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. Whisk together all ingredients for the dressing in a large bowl.
3. Once the pasta is cool, give it a quick rinse under cold water so the noodles don’t stick together; drain it well, and add it to the bowl with the dressing. Add the artichoke hearts, onion, parsley, olives, sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, and GO Veggie! Dairy Free Grated Parmesan Topping, and gently toss to combine.
