Cook pasta, drain it and let it cool. in a jar. Combine a bit of the marinade from the marinated artichokes, olive oil, vegetable oil, balsamic vinegar, roasted red peppers, basil and parsley. Put a lid on the jar, and shake until ingredients look mixed.
In a bowl, combine the pasta, artichokes, sweet peppers, carrots, and olives. Pour the dressing into pasta mixture, toss well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
