This pasta salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the pasta salad was still good. I would recommend using a different method of cooking the chicken.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pasta salad turned out bland and dry. I think it needed more seasoning.

This was a great recipe! The chicken was flavorful and the bow tie pasta was cooked perfectly. I used a store-bought spicy chicken sausage instead of making my own, and it turned out just as good.
