Asparagus Pasta Salad -- Vegetarian image

The original of this recipe comes from the 2009 cookbook, Taste of Home Best Church Supper Recipes, but I've tweaked it to make it vegetarian. Preparation time includes neither the time needed for the asparagus to cool nor for the time for the finished salad to chill.
