Instructions

Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat rotini according to package directions until al dente, tender with a slight resistance at the center, about 10–12 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking, and shake off excess water.

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