Directions
-
1Begin by making the vinaigrette.
-
2I used my Vitamix, but any blender, food processor or magic bullet-like machinery will work.
-
3Add all of the vinaigrette ingredients into the machine and blend until smooth.
-
4Taste and adjust accordingly with salt and pepper.
-
5Let sit in the fridge while you cook everything else.
-
6Dont worry if it separates, just shake it before serving.
-
7Then, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to the package instructions.
-
8While water is coming to a boil, chop the veggies (any Spring veggies will do), steam them if desired, then place veggies in a large bowl.
-
9Chop the cheddar cheese (into bite-sized pieces) and set aside.
-
10Once pasta is cooked, drain it, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta liquid, and add the pasta to the veggies.
-
11Pour the vinaigrette and cheddar cheese over the top.
-
12Toss until everything is combined.
-
13Add reserved pasta water if it needs more liquid.
-
14Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese.
-
15Toss and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
16Enjoy!
