In large pot of boiling salted water, cook penne for 7 minutes. Add green beans; cook for 3 minutes or until tender-crisp and pasta is tender but firm. Drain and rinse under cold water; drain again and place in large bowl. Meanwhile, coarsely chop tomato. Seed and halve red pepper crosswise; cut into thin strips. Slice green onions. Drain artichoke hearts, reserving 1 tablespoon marinade; cut hearts in half. Add tomato, red pepper, green onions, artichoke hearts and ham to pasta mixture. Dressing: In small bowl, whisk together vinegar, grainy and Dijon mustards, garlic and salt; gradually whisk in oil. Whisk in reserved marinade. Toss gently with pasta mixture. Season with pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley.
