Roasted Capsicum (Pepper), Goat Cheese & Pecan Salad

This is a great Pasta Salad to have at a BBQ, Potlucks etc - it's from the WW 'Great Casual Food' Cookbook. It's a great combination of flavours and it looks beautiful with the different colours - we love it! I use Corn & Rice Pasta (for gluten intolerant DH) and noboby has ever noticed the difference.
