This is such a simple dish that I thought it needed a fancy name to help it out; so quick and easy pasta salad became Incalata con Pasta Rapido y Facile. There you are, watching a great documentary on Global Warming and a load of un-expected; and maybe un-wanted guests shows up; claiming they tried to call but your phone was busy You can, of course repost by saying you were just on your way to a meeting of your coven but you did that last time. Read more So pop the 5 lb package of mince you have in the freezer into the microwave to thaw so you can make hamburgers and make up a batch of Incalata con Pasta. I decided to get even with the last mob that did this to me by dropping by their place un-announced at super time but they were having TV Dinners; figures. A word of warning: Use only top quality, just barely blanched frozen veggies for this. The crisp, almost raw veggies make this dish. See less
