Asian Pasta Primavera

Since vegetarians began to appear at family dinner tables, this Pasta Primavera  (from Chatelaine) has been one of my "go to" dishes. I make this almost à la minute, and one guest is usually generous enough to mind the stove and pull this together. With absolutely everything prepped and pre- measured (and with the offer of a clean/funky apron) they seem happy to step up and deal with the 5 steps.  1) oil and onions 2) first set of vegetables 3) add sauce 4) add last two veg and pasta; 5) big finish with onions and sprouts.

Curried Lentil, Wild Rice, Orzo Salad

Works well as a picnic salad! Lentils are so good for us, and just recently lentils.ca has been trying to remind us. Visit the lentil site for some terrific recipe ideas. This recipe is from Canadian Living. I have changed nothing, but have added a few tips. It can be served warm, room temperature or cold.
