| Prep time | 20 minutes |
| 1 | Package | spaghetti (8 ounces, or spiral-shaped noodles) |
| 1 | Package | marinated artichoke hearts (6 ounces, drained and coarsely chopped) |
| 1 | Can | ripe olives (4 ounces, sliced and drained) |
| 1 | Cup | frozen English peas (thawed) |
| 1 | red bell pepper (medium, chopped) | |
| 1 | zucchini (small, chopped) | |
| 1⁄2 | purple onion (small, thinly sliced) | |
| 1⁄2 | Cup | parmesan cheese |
| 1⁄2 | Cup | mayonnaise |
| 1⁄2 | Cup | Italian dressing |
| 1 | Teaspoon | dried parsley flakes |
| 1⁄2 | Teaspoon | dill weed |
| 1⁄2 | Teaspoon | pepper (coarsely ground) |
Cook pasta according to package directions and drain. Rinse with cold water and drain again. Combine artichoke hearts and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Add pasta, tossing well. Combine mayonnaise and remaining 4 ingredients, stirring with wire whisk. Add to pasta mixture and stir well. Cover and chill. Serves 8.
I save the marinade from the artichoke hearts and use it to replace half the Italian dressing. I also add a little garlic powder and Italian-blend herbs and salt to taste.
