Ingredients

12 ounces whole-grain fusilli or rotini
1 pound asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 ounces snow peas, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
3 tablespoons soy sauce (lowest sodium available)
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 cup shredded carrots
1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
2 medium green onions, sliced

Two minutes before the pasta is cooked, add the asparagus and snow peas to the boiling water.
Transfer the cooked pasta mixture to a colander.
Run cold water over the pasta and vegetables to stop the cooking process.
Drain well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and honey.
