Notes
Test your pasta before taking it off the boil. It can vary in cooking length from around 8-10 minutes.
Run cold water over the pasta for as long as it takes to bring the temperature down to stop the pasta from continuing to cook.
Refrigerate the dish before serving and allow the dressing to marinade with the pasta and the extra ingredients.
