Personal Notes:
While you're making a fresh pasta dish earlier in the week, and since you're going to be watching a pot of water boil on the stove to make that evening's pasta, you might as well boil another pot of water for the pasta you've chosen for this recipe! Rinse pasta in cold water; toss with a *smidge* of light olive oil to keep pasta from sticking; save pasta in fridge, therefore having it on hand the night you prepare this Pasta Salad!
