Cook pasta, drain and rinse with cold water. Cut broccoli into florets (save stalks for another use) and cook in microwave for a minute or so (or you can blanch it in some hot water - this brings out the color and flavor). Rinse with cold water.

Put pasta, broccoli and the rest of the vegetables in a big bowl. Chill well. Just before serving, pour dressing over pasta and vegetables and stir well. You can add whatever vegetbles you like, but don't skimp on the red pepper -- it adds a wonderful sweetness.
