Notes

We usually add about 2/3 box of pasta, but it depends on the pasta to vegetables ratio that you prefer. I would start out adding 1 to 2 cups of pasta and continue to add until you have the ratio you would like. I would do the same with the dressing, begin with a few tablespoons and add more as you see fit.
