Drain pasta and put in large serving bowl, add veggie mixture to pasta and toss to coat well.

Serve as a side dish with chicken or fish or by itself for a luncheon or picnic. Can be served hot or cold. Travels well. Also, you can add grilled chicken slices over the pasta to serve as a complete meal.
