And, she is my fav. of the food network stars!! Here is her accompanying quote: "The dressing, the smoked flavor of the cheese, the basil, the tomatoes - it's a beautiful combination!"
(serves 18)
16 oz. penne, mostaccioli, radiator or rotini pasta
1/2 cup mayo.
1/4 cup whole* milk
2-3 T. white vinegar
2-3 t. adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers)
1/2 t. kosher* salt, more to taste
Freshly* ground pepper
3 cups red and /or yellow grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 lb. smoked Gouda cheese, cubed
24 basil leaves, shredded
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cool water and set aside in a large bowl. Combine the mayo. and milk in a medium bowl. Add the vinegar and stir until smooth. Add 1 t. adobo sauce and S&P; stir the dressing until combined. Taste; add more vinegar if you'd like it to have a little bite. Add more adobo sauce if you want a little more heat. Drizzle dressing over pasta. Throw tomatoes and cheese into the bowl. Stir pasta salad around. Then throw in basil and stir until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed., then cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in fridge at least 2 hours.
