A high-protein, low-fat / calorie pasta salad with black beans and a zesty southwestern bite.

So good and fairly easy. Very spicy as well.

Saw a recipe VERY similar to this and decided to modify it a bit. Added it here to track my calories. Would've LOVED Mrs. Dash Chipotle!

Serve hot or cold this yummy dish is perfect for a meal all its own or a tasty side dish. Exclude chicken for a vegetarian delight!

Try this rustic twist on the traditional pasta salad! Excellent summer salad and packed with fiber and Vitamins!

I know - you look at the ingredients and think "what the heck?" but I wanted something like mac n cheese one night and this totally worked! Give it a try!!

You can add any veggies you like!

This is a great variation on a cold pasta salad if you want something a little spicier.

This is a really yummy and Very easy dinner.

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and tweaked it just a little.

Experiment... Only shared so my husband could add it to his meal planner, as well.

I'll update with out it turns out!

This is a salad modified from one found the the "Taste of Home Comfort Food" cookbook. It makes a big batch so is suitable for a large family gathering or potluck dinner.

Chickpeas are the protein in this vegetarian pasta dish with a southwestern flavor.

This is my own recipe I put together at the last minute. I wanted a dairy free creamy but somewhat cheesy sauce for the pasta. I welcome any tips that would make it taste better.
