In a bowl whisk together all ingredients until well blended adjusting amount to taste , then refrigerate until ready to use.
Boil the pasta shells in boiling water until al dente.

Toss with a wooden spoon to combine.
Add in the prepared dressing.
Toss well to combine.

Add in more oregano if desired and season with salt and lots freshly ground black pepper.
Cover and chill for 5 hours or more before serving.
