- 1 (8 ounce) package sun-dried tomato pasta
- 1 cup asparagus tips
- 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced roasted red peppers
- 1 cup halved yellow pear tomatoes
- 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 cup thinly sliced zucchini
- 1 cup thinly sliced yellow summer squash
- 1 cup purple cauliflower florets
- 1 cup thinly sliced fennel
- 1/2 cup chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
- Pesto Rosso Dressing:
- 2 cups sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and oil reserved

- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
- 4 cloves roasted garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain. Let pasta chill.
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus tips and cook uncovered until bright green, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.
