     I've been busy lately.  Very busy.  I have finally gotten around to planting my garden with eggplant, beets, tomatoes, and much more.  Oh yes... there are also red cabbage.  You might remember my red cabbage from last summer.
     And I'm back in my old routine of assembling a large pasta salad early in the day.  It makes my time spent turning garden soil, planting and watering a lot easier knowing a great meal is waiting for me in my refrigerator. 
     This recipe makes a lot of pasta and vegetables.  Halve the ingredients if it sounds like too much for you.  I use any leftover Basil Sauce in sandwiches.
