Being that I am pregnant and my taste is constantly changing, I love taking the "semi-home made" approach to cooking. Taking boxed pasta dishes and adding my bits of what I am wanting, of what the baby is wanting rather! Today its all about Seafood!!!! So what I have done is taken the Betty Crocker Suddenly Pasta Salad and have added Fresh Shrimp and imitation Crab to the mix! Mind you, I also tweak the seasoning to the pasta as well. Traditionally you would use 3 tablespoons of water and 2 tablespoons of Oil. Well in this case, since I am going off of taste and things that go well with Seafood, I am going to use 2 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of Red Wine Vinegar with the 2 tablespoons of oil! Now as far as making this dish, I would suggest just following what the box tell you to do!
1. Pour Pasta into a 3-quart saucepan 2/3 full of BOILING WATER. Gently boil uncovered for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Stir together Seasoning, cold water, red wine vinegar, and oil in a medium bowl and set aside. (this is also when I added the shrimp and crab meat as well)
3. Drain pasta. Rinse with cold water, drain well. Stir pasta into seasoning mixture. Serve immediately or refrigerate!
