Pasta and Vegetable Salad

Another great way to serve vegetables while preserving color, nutrients and taste is to blanch them for a fabulous, quick and easy vegetable and pasta dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. package spaghetti
  • 2 cups chopped assorted vegetables of your choice (carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, red peppers, yellow squash and zucchini squash)
  • 1/3 cup Italian salad dressing
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)


Directions

Prepare vegetables and place in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Drain immediately into a colander and rinse with cold water to halt the cooking process.

Make the spaghetti according to package instructions. Once done, drain and combine both the spaghetti and the blanched vegetables together in a large mixing bowl and toss gently.

Add salad dressing and toss thoroughly. Add Parmesan cheese if desired. Cover and chill.

Optional ingredients can be whatever you want, especially artichoke hearts and black olives.

Serves 4-6.

Quick, easy, nutritious and delicious!

Enjoy!
