- 6 oz. pimento-stuffed green olives drained
- 6 oz. kalamata olives pitted & drained
- 6 oz. cocktail onions drained & halved
- 4 oz. pepperoncini drained & sliced
- 1 T. capers drained

- 4 oz. thick sliced provolone roughly chopped

Instructions
- Cook pasta al dente according to package directions. Drain, toss with a little giardiniera liquid or olive oil to prevent sticking, and let cool on the counter.

- Serve at room temp. Keeps in the fridge for several weeks, if it lasts that long.
