Made this to go with some grilled hamburger patties. I used green and yellow zucchini, red onions and tomatoes. I did save a little of the pasta water to mix in at the end for some moisture but this is definately a keeper. Made for Spring PAC 2014.

This rocked. We did add some chicken and shrimp we sauteed separately but this was the base. Thanks for sharing.
