Ingredients
  

Pasta Salad Base

  • 16 ounce mini penne pasta
  • 1.5 pounds chopped cooked chicken
  • 0.5 cup diced green bell pepper

  • 0.33 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped

Preparation

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
