Directions


  1. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and cook the smoked sausage until just browned. For a richer flavor, you can grill the sausage instead, then slice it into rounds after grilling.

  2. Set the cooked sausage aside to cool.

  3. In an extra-large mixing bowl, combine the pasta, cheese, olives, peppers, scallions, and grape tomatoes.

  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

  5. Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture, then toss to coat evenly.

  6. Fold in the cooled smoked sausage and serve.
