Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente, tender with a slight resistance at the center. Drain through a colander, then toss immediately with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking. Spread on a sheet pan or leave in the colander to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

While the pasta cools, whisk together the red wine vinegar, 2/3 cup olive oil, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl until the dressing is emulsified and slightly thickened.
