Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad Recipe!!

THANK YOU for all the questions!  Haha, I can't wait to answer all of them on Friday....I'll have to think about a few because you guys ask some challenging questions!

As I said yesterday, we made a lot of new recipes over the long weekend.  Not only did I have time to go to the grocery store...but I even had time to cook the food!!   =)  I wanted to share a super great recipe for football tailgating, potluck, side dish, or even as dinner (like we did!).  I got the awesome recipe from Foodgawker!

If you are like me, you like anything buffalo flavored!!  This recipe is perfect because the sauce is not heavy but rather is a buffalo vinaigrette! Ok ok ok, I'll quite typing and provide the recipe...

• 8 ounces uncooked pasta (such as mezze penne)
• 1/2 cup Frank’s hot sauce
• 1/2 cup olive oil
