My cooking skills are about as good as my prognostication of this year's NFL playoff games. With that said I have included a recipe I made for a large group pot luck supper. I call this creation Kurt's Giant Sized Zesty Pasta Salad. It has a little but of everything in it including healthy and non-healthy ingredients. Consider this as a possible Superbowl Party side dish.
