Roasted Vegetables Pasta Salad


What to do with leftover roasted vegetables?  I thought it would make a great pasta salad especially with the warm weather lately.  This is a simple recipe and was easy to throw together for lunch this weekend.  I love that it is a light dish despite it being a pasta dish.  If you have leftover vegetables at home, just mix it with pasta and you have a great meal.  I tried it warm after making this and it was delicious.  I also had it again the next day cold and it was just as great.  Enjoy!
