Instructions
In a 4-quart saucepan, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, cool, and set aside.
In the meantime, place peapods in a microwavable dish, add enough water to keep moist, and microwave for 1–2 minutes, or until warm.
Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients together in a separate bowl, and toss gently.
Add cooked pasta and peapods, and toss gently to coat the pasta.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later use.
