Prepare the pasta in salted water boiling 8 minutes until al dente.
Drain Pasta and put in a shallow bowl.
Add to the pasta the jar of Olive Mix (if you can't find Muffulata mix a mixture of crushed olives and finely chopped giardinara in oil will suffice).
Add other ingredients and incoroporate well with a spoon until mixed.
if too dry you can add a cup or so of homemade red wine vinaigrette until the salad moist enough for your taste.
Cover and refrigerate overnight for best flavor.
