Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (12 ounce) package bow tie pasta
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground red chile pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

This pasta salad was a disappointment. The dressing was bland and the vegetables were undercooked.

I added some grilled chicken to this recipe and it was delicious! It's a great way to use up leftover chicken.
