Answer 3

Cook your pasta (I like rotini's) and put in a bowl
Add just a touch of dressing so the pasta doesn't stick together (I prefer a balsamic based salad dressing)
Cut up any veggies you like (I like onions, garlic, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, celery, red peppers)
Add to the pasta
Toss with more dressing to coat veggies
Let sit in the fridge at least a few hours, tossing every now and then to make sure everythings getting coated
Serve chilled
Yummy!
