Cooking Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Drain and cool slightly.
- With 4 minutes left on the pasta timer, add sliced asparagus to the pot. During the final minute, add frozen peas.
- Drain pasta and veggies under cold running water to stop cooking. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes with the cooled macaroni and vegetables. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth. Adjust flavor with salt and pepper.
- Pour dressing over chilled pasta and vegetable mixture. Add parsley and chives, then toss until combined.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to four days.
