    ¼ cup olive oil
    2 tsp sugar
    ½ tsp salt
    ¼ tsp pepper

    Recipe





    Planning Tip: Do steps 1, 2 and 3 a day before serving. Store dressing and pasta-vegetable mixture separately; refrigerate. Do step 4 up to 4 hours before serving.


    Whisk lemon zest, juice, water, oil, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl until blended. Add onions and let stand while pasta cooks.


    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, return to a boil and cook as package directs; stir in asparagus and carrots 3 minutes before pasta will be done.


    Cook until pasta and vegetables are just firm-tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water; drain again.


    Put in bowl with dressing. Add mint and toss to mix and coat.
