Asian Pasta Salad

With temperatures at the century mark last week, we wanted simple meals. I have made this salad a number of times and it always turns out great. When I'm feeling really lazy, I pick up a bag of stir-fry mix at Trader Joes instead of preparing all the veggies separately. The mix has snow peas, shredded carrots, bok choy, celery and just a little broccoli. I typically cook the pasta and then put the veggies in right at the end of the cooking time for the pasta. When the minute is up, I drain everything together.
