Pasta salad for Thanksgiving sounds yummy. I roast a lot of veggies - just cut up your favorite veggies in 1/2-inch chunks or larger, mix with olive oil and herbs like sage, rosemary and thyme, then roast in jelly roll pan uncovered until they're nice and brown. I use carrots, onions, squash and even sweet potatoes. I wait awhile and add green beans as they don't take very long. Mix the roasted veggies with cooked pasta and a little Italian dressing if needed. I just noticed a new recipe on BettyCrocker.com that has a great review - "I made this for a potluck and it was gone in a minute." Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
