very tasty pasta salad without mayo and without broth

Cook the pasta in salted water, dice the bell peppers and zucchini. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the bell peppers for about 4 minutes, then add the zucchini, garlic, and thyme and fry for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the vinegar, season with paprika, and mix with the now slightly cooled pasta. Let everything cool. Trim the arugula, trim the ends if necessary, wash, and drain. Then toss it into the salad and season again with vinegar and spices if desired. Finally, crumble/chop the feta cheese and fold it in along with the leek rings. Other variations are certainly possible.
