Pasta Primavera
Tip: Drain cooked pasta in a colander over a bowl, holding back about 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Allow the pasta to drain a few minutes, and then return it to the pot, and toss it with a little of the reserved cooking liquid; this eliminates the need to add oil to keep the strands of pasta from sticking. Stir the pasta gently with the sauce, adding some of the reserved cooking liquid as needed to keep the pasta moist.
