This is my husbands favorite salad. He requests I make that "big pasta salad" so he has leftovers for lunch, it makes great leftover lunches! Seriously the bowl has so many veggies, the pasta is hard to find!

Instructions
- To roast the asparagus and zucchini, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut into bite sized pieces toss with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 8 to 10 min. or until slightly cooked but not mushy.
- To blanch the broccoli, cut into small pieces and place into boiling water for about 15-30 seconds. Immediately drain and rinse under cold water until completely cooled.
- Cut all the vegetables and place into a large bowl, along with roasted veggies and blanched veggies.
- Cook pasta as directed on package, rinse and drain.
- Add pasta to the vegetables and toss. You may not necessarily use all of the pasta you cooked, add as much as you feel looks right. The object is to have as much vegetables as pasta if not more. Pour your favorite Italian dressing over ,mix together and serve.
