Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add elbow macaroni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. In the last 4 minutes, add chopped asparagus, and in the last minute, toss in frozen peas.
- Carefully drain the pasta and vegetables in a colander. Rinse briefly under cold water to halt the cooking process.
- Stir in marinated sun-dried tomatoes with the cooled pasta, asparagus, and peas. Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice and zest, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper until smooth.
- Remove pasta mixture from refrigerator. Pour prepared dressing over and toss gently. Add finely chopped parsley and chives.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container. Keeps in refrigerator for up to 4 days.
