Preparation:

Step 1
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook according to package directions; drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the water. Return the pasta to the pan.
Step 2
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the soppressata and cook, stirring, until the oil turns reddish, about 3 minutes. Add the artichoke hearts, Spanish olives, Kalamata olives, and roasted red peppers and toss to coat.
Step 3
• Add the tomatoes, basil leaves, olive brine, and pasta water. Bring to a boil and simmer until most of the water has evaporated and the sauce has thickened slightly, 8-10 minutes.
Step 4
• Add the sauce and mozzarella to the pasta in the pan and toss. Divide among 4 bowls and sprinkle with basil. Serve the pasta with bread.
