Instructions
Boil your pasta to package directions.
While the pasta cooks, chop your veggies and place all the remaining ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
When the past is done, (rinse if pasta is gluten free, do NOT rinse if it's regular pasta) cool a bit and then add it to the mixing bowl.
Stir well to combine.
Taste and adjust any of the ingredients to your liking. There really is no way to do this wrong unless you add too much salt!
