Cook the pasta according to package directions in plenty of boiling salted water until firm to the bite. Ladle out about 1/2 cup of the pasta-cooking water and reserve. Remove from the heat and add 1 cup cold water to stop cooking; drain. Toss pasta with the roasted vegetables, the chicken and olives; add pasta-cooking water, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and cheese. Serve at room temperature.
