Hot and Spicy Pasta Salad

Pasta is one of my absolute favorite food.But I never liked to order them in hotels because in my experience pasta is hidden by the way too much in the sauce, in other words all I could taste was sauce and not the pasta or herbs.May be many people like it that way but I am not too fond of too much of gravy or sauce in any food.With this said,I read a recipe for pasta salad in one of the issues of  Femina or reader's digest few days back.It was a semi dry dish with very little cheese and full of vegetables,just the way i like :)I prepared it my husband liked it very much :)
