  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      c             Small shaped pasta -- uncooked
     3/4  lb            Marinated artichoke hearts
     3/4  c             Alfalfa sprouts -- firmly packed
   1      sm            Green pepper -- finely chop
   1      md            Carrot -- coarsely chopped
     1/2  c             Black olives -- sliced/chopped
     1/4  c             Red wine vinegar (approximate)
     1/2  ts            Dried basil
     1/2  ts            Dried summer savory

Cook the pasta al dente, then rinse it with cool water. Drain the
pasta well and put it in a mixing bowl.

Chop the artichokes into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pasta.
Add the alfalfa sprouts, separating the strands as much as possible
with a fork, and the remaining ingredients. Mix well and allow to
stand for 1 to 2 hours either at room temperature or refrigerated
before serving.

Variation:

To serve as a main dish salad, garnish with hard-boiled eggs or add
some diced mozzarella cheese.
