Quick Pasta Salad

Thank God for bottled Italian dressing.

Ingredients:

• 1⁄4 of a 1 lb. pkg spaghetti
• 1 cup mixed peas and diced carrots, frozen
• Zesty Italian dressing
• Other additions: 1⁄2 cup to 1 cup of chicken, ham, cheese

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to boil. 
2. Carefully and slowly add pasta and salt to boiling water. (Water should continue to boil as you add the pasta.) Cook stirring frequently, until pasta is tender-chewy. This will take 10 to 12 minutes.
3. Drain and rinse in cold water.
4. Add mixed vegetables and other optional ingredients.
5. Add Zesty Italian Dressing to taste. Mix well.
