This is a quick and easy meal. While the pasta cooks you prepare all you're going to mix in, such as cutting the vegetables and the meat, chicken, or fish. Mix the dressing and by the time the pasta's done cooking all you do is mix it all together!
Ingredients
- 1 pound pasta - shape of your choice shopping list
- 1 or 2 carrots, peeled and diced shopping list
- 1 small cucumber, cut into bite-sized pieces shopping list
- 1 red pepper, cut into dice shopping list
- 1 - 2 cups cut up meat, poultry, or fish (salmon has body and works well) shopping list
- 1 large tomato, cut up OR a cup of split cherry tomatoes shopping list
- Any additional vegetables you like shopping list
- 1 cup frozen peas shopping list
- 1 envelope Good Seasons Italian dressing, mixed with vinegar and good olive oil shopping list
- Grated parmesan cheese to add on top shopping list
How to make it
- Bring water to a boil and toss in the pasta to cook for the directed time. While you're boiling the water and the pasta cut up all of your vegetables and the protein and mix the dressing. When the pasta is done cooking pour the frozen peas into your colander and then pour the pasta and it's water over the peas. The boiling water will defrost them but leave the peas with body. Mix this in with the other vegetables and cut up protein. Pour the prepared dressing over this to taste, some like it wetter than others. Pass the parmesan to top.

Pasta's not usually my thing, but I saw the comment you posted in the Suggestions Group thread, and it made me curious. I plan to try this next grocery run. Good post!

We tried this, and it was great! I didn't realize how much it would make, so I gave half to my sister, who adores pasta, as I owe her lots of times she fed us. It's all good!
