Black Bean Bow Tie Pasta Salad with Roasted Corn

Pasta salad is a deli staple and favorite for outdoor barbecues. But this subtly spicy recipe is versatile enough to serve anytime. Try making it as a side for your next Taco Tuesday or gameday party. We recommend using bow tie pasta, but feel free to give it some more pizzazz! Using different pasta colors or shapes is a fun way to put your stamp on the menu. You may think of a basket and checkered blanket when you think of pasta salad. But you can enjoy this recipe far beyond summertime. This dish keeps well and is perfect for a cozy potluck or packed lunch. You can mix it up by adding more veggies or different kinds of beans. Or, make an even spicier version with extra Tapatío hot sauce on top! We’ve partnered with Tapatío to create a few recipes with a little extra kick. Produced in Vernon, California, Tapatío has been a west coast mainstay since 1971. It’s the perfect addition to any southwestern-style dish, but Tapatío can also add some unexpected zing to other meals.

Otherwise, it may become gummy and stick together. You can also coat the noodles in oil or add a few drops of oil to the pasta water.
