   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

   In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

   Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and rinse under cold water to cool it down and stop the cooking process.

   Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss to evenly coat all the ingredients.

   Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
