Target recipe: bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. add pasta and cook until al dente. while pasta is cooking, thaw vegetables (i usually put the desired amount on a plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes). when pasta is done, strain and immediately rinse with cold water until no longer warm. let excess water drain off for about 1 minute. place pasta in a quart-sized container. add vegetables. pour dressing over the top and mix thoroughly. add salt and pepper to taste. best when chilled for at least an hour and will last for a few days in the refrigerator.
