1 small red pepper, sliced thin

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup chopped cucumber
1 can sliced black olives

Cook pasta according to directions. Drain well. Run cold water over pasta to prevent sticking.

** pour a kettle of boiling water over the broccoli and then douse with cold water to stop the cooking. This brings out the beautiful green color in the broccoli & leaves it crisp, but takes away the raw flavor.

Mix prepared broccoli and all other ingredients with cooked pasta. Marinate overnight for maximum flavor.
