This dish is my take on a pasta salad I had at Zanotto’s Family Market in San Jose. Every time I go there, I get this pasta salad and burn my mouth but just love it. I recreated the recipe and lightened up on the mayo and spice (to not burn my mouth). Try this Chipotle Chicken Pasta Salad Recipe for yourself and let us know how many peppers you like!
