Spunky Pasta Salad

This is a li'l something that I borrowed from Katherine Fulkerson, and I would claim it as my own, but Wombat is part of our blog!

Spunky Pasta Salad
1/2 box/bag of orzo, farfalle, campenelle or some fun sort of pasta that you like!
1 can black olives
1/2 jar capers and juice
1 can garbanzo beans (a.k.a. butt beans)
2-4 stalks of green onion (depending on how much you want...I usually do 2)
Tons of cilantro or to your liking
1 large lemon
red wine vinegar and olive oil to taste
salt and pepper to taste
red pepper flakes if you want a kick in the arse :)

Boil your pasta and coat it with olive oil so that it doesn't stick together once cooked and drained. Drain garbanzos and add all for protein. Drain olives and halve or quarter them (Mom you might want to consider cherry tomatoes). Toss in capers and some juice. Squeeze as much lemon juice in as you want as well as red wine vinegar. Don't be shy on the seasonings either. Cilantro is awesome, pepper rules, and a little green onion goes a long way (in my humble opinion). Add a dash of salt too!
