Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta. Cook, stirring occasionally about 9-10 minutes or until al dente. Drain water from pasta and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.

- Make dressing: In a small bowl combine minced garlic, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, dijon mustard, pepperoncini juice, salt and pepper. Whisk until dressing is emulsified. Add pasta to vegetables. Toss to combine.
- Pour the homemade dressing over the pasta salad with pepperoni. Toss to combine and taste for seasoning. Adjust as necessary.
- Refrigerate salad for several hours for flavors to marry and broccoli to absorb some dressing and soften slightly.

Notes
- Pasta lasts up to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
