Default Macaroni salad

Make a Pasta Primavera:

cook macaroni or whatever linguini, spaghetti, etc. you have on hand
(do not overcook!) If you use long spaghetti, cut it in thirds or
quarters for easier eating.

Saute in butter or olive oil until tender any or all of these:

chopped mild onion or green onions
sliced mushrooms
sliced quartered zucchini or summer squash
slivered green or red peppers
snap peas
any other favorite vegetable that isn't woody

Toss with your favorite vinaigrette, bottled or homemade
(homemade is better) and your choice of finely chopped
herbs--parsley, basil, oregano, marjoram, tarragon (not
all at the same time, of course).

Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan or chunks of feta
cheese, add small black olives or Kalamata olives.
