Mediterranean Wild Rice & Pasta With Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

A friend of a friend made this dish at a party and it was so simple, tasty and beautiful. I didn't get the recipe, so I guessed on the proportions and it came out perfect. This is best served at room temperature. Enjoy!

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a different type of sun-dried tomatoes than the recipe called for.

This Mediterranean wild rice pasta was a hit with my family! The combination of flavors from the sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and olives was perfect. I will definitely be making this dish again.
