Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.

3. Drain in a colander and immediately rinse with cold water until the pasta feels cool to the touch.
4. Dice the red peppers and carrots into tiny, uniform cubes (approx. 1/8 inch).
5. Combine diced vegetables, thawed peas, and cheese cubes in a large mixing bowl.
6. Fold in the minced parsley.
7. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, maple syrup, and spices in a mason jar.
8. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until emulsified.
9. Toss the prepared pasta and vegetables with the vinaigrette and chill for 15 minutes before serving for best flavor.
