Greens Pasta Salad Recipe

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pan.
2. Meanwhile, in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, cook bell pepper, onion, and carrots with 1 tbsp. olive oil and 1/4 tsp. salt, stirring often, until barely tender-crisp to the bite, about 3 minutes.
3. Add onion mixture and peas to pasta mixture; stir gently to mix. In a bowl, stir remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. each hot sauce and pepper; pour over pasta mixture and stir until well coated. If you like, add more pepper and hot sauce to taste. Just before serving, stir in lime juice. Scrape into a serving bowl and serve warm or at room temperature.
