Turtlenecks & Asparagus

a new year's resolution of mine was to cook something new every week.  basically i've been the stinkiest resolution keeper of all time.  when i get off work early, though, i try to conjure up something.  thursdee was such a day.

maybe you've already made something like this, but it was being sampled at trader joe's, it was remarkably inexpensive, yet still fresh and summery.  i added the chicken apple sausage to appease the carnivore.  

summer pasta salad du jour

1 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes

balsamic vinaigrette dressing to taste

6 oz. pack wheat pasta (i used the little twisty ones)

3/4 cup crumbled feta

1/2 cup sliced black olives

4 links of broiled chicken apple sausage

2 cups chopped artichoke hearts

ta daaaa!
