Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten free pasta according to package directions until just tender with a slight resistance at the center, typically 8–10 minutes. Drain through a colander, rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking, and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and toss to prevent sticking.

While the pasta cooks, make the dressing: combine the red wine vinegar, ½ cup olive oil, dried oregano, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and whisk until fully emulsified.
