Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tbsp salt, then cook the rotini according to package directions until al dente — tender with a slight resistance at the center, about 8–10 minutes. Drain through a colander and rinse under cold running water until the pasta is completely cool.

While the pasta cooks, make the dressing: combine the red wine vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and whisk until fully emulsified.
