BUFFALO CHICKEN PASTA SALAD

Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad image

Full of buffalo flavors, this buffalo chicken pasta salad is one of my favorite side dishes at potlucks and tailgate parties, but you could also serve it as a main. It can be eaten warm or cold so it's easy to make ahead of time. Sometimes I even use precooked small shrimp instead of the chicken or leave out the meat if I need a vegetarian dish. -Lisa Huff, Wilton, Connecticut
