Ingredients

1/2 pound thin string beans
6 ounces baby carrots, peeled
15 asparagus tips
12 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
10 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved if large
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
6 large radishes, sliced
1 pound fusilli pasta
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat a saucepan of lightly salted water to boiling. Add the string beans and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove. Place in a bowl of ice water to cool. In the same boiling water, cook the carrots for about 5 minutes; cool as for the string beans. Add the asparagus tips to the same boiling water and cook for about 3 minutes. Cool, as for the other vegetables.
In about 1 cup lightly salted boiling water, cook the shrimp until pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from water and cool.
Boil the pasta in salted water as the package directs for al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water; drain pasta. Cool and place in a serving bowl. Add the cooked vegetables; the raw tomatoes, bell pepper and radishes; and the shrimp. Sprinkle with parsley and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss. Add a little pasta cooking water and toss again. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
