    Smoky, smoky, smoky!

    The flavor in this simple pasta salad gets kicked up a few notches by adding 2 spices to the mayo before you toss it all together.

    My guess is that you have all of these items on hand you could make this TONIGHT.

    I adore pantry staple recipes like this one…not only because of how easy and simple they are to put together, but also because they keep me out of the drive thru lane or calling for takeout!

    Give this one a try on a hot summer night!

      Questions:
      If you have regular diced tomatoes, how much chili powder would you add to equal tomatoes with chili seasoning?
      Would a different pasta (whole wheat rotini) and plain old yellow corn work?
      This sounds like a pasta salad my guys wouldn’t turn their noses up at!

      Pasta is so great and beans and cucumber sound pretty healthy. I like your ideas.
