Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a largepot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to aboil over high heat.

While rigatoni cooks, halve tomatoes. Finely chop olives. Roughly chop parsley. Combine tomatoes, olives, parsley, remaining vinegar and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
