Corn & Peas Pasta Salad

It happens to a super hit recipe in my family and most of the time I cook it just to see that glint in Vikas’s eyes when he eats this salad. Yeah its a salad but can be served as a full dress meal for lunch or dinner and this quantity will serve 2-3 people..
I had used Penne pasta but one can choose which ever he/she likes even spaghetti can be used for this dish.
