Southwestern Farfalle Pasta

The first time we tried this recipe was when Chef Todd cooked it for us at a Thrive Life event. We fell in love with it immediately. It’s a fun twist on a pasta salad. A new and tasty pasta dish we love to bring to family bbq’s all the time now! Hopefully you enjoy it as much this summer.
