Ingredients

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 cup penne pasta

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed), thinly sliced lengthwise

2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 head romaine lettuce (1 1/4 pounds), torn into bite-size pieces

1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts (water-packed), drained and quartered

4 ounces feta, crumbled (1 cup)

Preparation

In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook pasta until 1 minute short of al dente. Add sun-dried tomatoes, and cook until tender and pasta is al dente, 1 minute more. Drain pasta and tomatoes, rinse under cold water, and drain again; transfer to a large bowl.

Make dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, mustard, and 1 tablespoon water; season with salt and pepper.

Add pasta and tomatoes, romaine, beans, artichoke hearts, and feta; toss until combined, and serve immediately.
