While I cooked Barilla Whole Grain Thin Spaghetti, I cut the veggies up and put them in a bowl. I drained the pasta and mixed it with the veggies like this:
The lid helped *really* steam the small pieces of veggies so they weren't still raw. Meanwhile, I mixed up the dressing and then mixed it all together to create:
The result? G ate almost all of it, except I pulled out the artichokes since I thought those were too tough for him. R ate just the pasta and broccoli, but said he liked the taste.

Looks yummy!
I have that bowl! It's a nesting set of 3 from Crate & Barrel, right?
Crate and Barrel indeed!
I have it too, in the red stripe!
I'm a big fan of Barilla Plus (the high protein, whole wheat pasta), but I haven't tried their whole grain yet. How would you rate it?
