Steps:
- In a food processor or blender, pulse sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper 5-6 times, until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl or blender.
- With the mixer running, drizzle in olive oil in a steady stream. Add fresh oregano leaves and pulse to gently chop them up. You should have about 3/4 cup of vinaigrette. Set aside.
- Cook pasta in salted, boiling water until al dente. Drain and rinse with cool water or lightly-coat with olive oil and spread out onto baking sheets to cool.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add artichoke hearts and a pinch or two of kosher salt and black pepper. Gently sauté for 5-8 minutes, flipping the artichokes sparingly, until they're light golden brown in parts.
- Deglaze the pan with a small splash of water or white wine and cook for 1 minute, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom.
- Remove from heat and stir in shallots, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
- When pasta is cooked and cooled, toss with the sun-dried tomato vinaigrette, artichoke mixture, pine nuts, herbs, and Pecorino Romano. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pasta salad is best enjoyed at room temperature.
