Preparation
Step 1
Whisk garlic, lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, and a light sprinkling of salt and pepper in a Pyrex measuring cup. Slowly whisk in olive oil to make a thick dressing; set aside.
Meanwhile, bring 2 quarts water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a large pot. Add pasta and, using package times as a guide, cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Add seafood to pasta and continue to cook until seafood is just opaque, a minute or so longer. Drain and pour onto a baking sheet to cool and dry. Just before serving, mix pasta and seafood, tomatoes, roasted pepper, cheese, and oregano in a large bowl. Add dressing, toss to coat, and serve.
Drink: A clean, crisp white such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano or Sancerre
