vegetarian patchwork pasta salad

By the end of the week, our fridge looks like a patchwork of leftovers! Time to get creative and pull together a fabulous meal to celebrate the weekend. We grabbed all of the fresh veggies that we had straggling around and the last box of pasta noodles that was hiding in the back of the pantry. Mixing them all together turned out to be a very happy medley of flavors and a guiltless night of grubbing! We think that the patchwork pasta is worth adding into our weekly meal plan. . . and it is great for lunch the next day too! Only if you don't eat the whole batch in one sitting like we did!


ONE
 cook and drain whole wheat pasta

TWO
 chop your organic veggies:
carrots
red onion
red bell pepper
fresh corn
peas
edamame

THREE
 saute veggies in a skillet over medium heat

FOUR

extra virgin olive oil

FIVE
 toss veggies and pasta together, adding feta cheese (optional) and a little balsamic vinaigrette

enjoy!!
