Sicilian Pasta Salad (+This Week's Meat, Dairy & Veggies)

Looking for a new favorite side to add to your seasonal dinners? How about a Sicilian pasta salad, served warm or cold with organic rigatoni dressed in extra virgin olive oil, shaved cheese, and fresh or dried herbs. Add color with different varieties of cured olives, artichokes, roasted red peppers, and luxuriously creamy white or black Tartufina (a Sicilian truffle sauce). Is your mouth watering yet? We could go on about our grass-fed meats and dairy, pastured eggs, and local produce, but we don't want to overdo it!
