Here is how you make Light Creamy Pasta Salad with a Kick!:

Cook pasta first , I like to add a little garlic powder, chili powder and kosher salt to the pot right at boiling. (I feel it enfuses a nice flavor). For this whole grain pasta I usually don't cook it as long so it's still al dente (about 8 min). Drain pasta, do not rinse. Add mayo and spices : red pepper, dill weed, garlic powder, pinch kosher salt, dried mustard, and chili powder. Refrigerate. Keeps for a couple days. Calories are based on 1/2 cup servings.
