Instructions

In a medium pot over medium-high heat, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
In a separate pan, heat the oil. Add in the onion and garlic and saute for 1 minute, then add zucchini and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the veggies become tender.
Stir in the tomatoes and cover the pan for 1 minute, stir and then cover for another minute.
Stir in the olives, olive brine, pasta, and basil, and serve. Can be eaten cold or warm.

Notes

Easily make this ahead of time for your party or potluck.
Use whatever fresh summer veggies you have on hand.
I recommend sticking with rotini pasta to soak up all the dressing flavors.
