The flavors of this dish are good. I did add a touch of red pepper flakes and used whole wheat penne for the pasta. The sauce is thin and this really needs to stand for the the pasta and veggies to soak up the delicious sauce. The sauce might benefit by warming and thickening with some cornstarch. Made for *ZWT6*

This was pretty tasty, and fairly easy to put together. I steamed the vegetables in the microwave, which worked out very nicely. The dressing had a nice flavor, although I wish it had been a bit thicker to adhere to the pasta salad. I made this to take to work at lunch, and I noticed the dressing sunk to the bottom of the container, and the salad needed to be tossed again. I'm not sure how to make it thicker, but I would like to, because it really has a good flavor. Thanks for helping me to have a healthy lunch this week! Made for Newest Zaar tag game.
