"Rainbow" Veggie Pasta

This is a recipe that I came up with all on my own.  It is a good way to use up vegetables that you have in your fridge that need to be used.  It would be easy to substitute things in place of what I listed.  I have made variation of this a couple times now and we all seem to love it every time!
