Bow Tie & Spinach Salad image

With pasta salad, it's easy to change up ingredients. We like to add grilled chicken and pine nuts, and sometimes we substitute black beans for the garbanzo beans. -Julie Kirkpatrick, Billings, Montana

BOWTIE PASTA WITH WHITE KIDNEY BEANS & SPINACH



Bowtie Pasta with White Kidney Beans & Spinach image

Sounds odd, but this recipe is so good. I'm not cooking for a while due to the heat. So no picture right now! But as soon as it cools down, I'm making this again and will post what it looks like. Years ago I found it in a magazine while waiting in the Dr's office and made a copy and brought it home and tried it.
