Broccoli Pasta Slaw

Submitted by DailyInspiration

"This recipe appeared on Downhome with the Neelys on the Food Network channel. It looks delicious and I plan to make it for a Church potluck that is coming up; although, I will probably leave out the cayenne pepper. *Note - this recipe calls for broccoli slaw which can be purchased in the salad section of the supermarket."

Since I was taking this to a function, I doubles the recipe. I have to say, that it needed just a bit more vinegar, as I wasn't able to detect it very much. Perhaps it's because of the pasta soaking up the sauce to much? The tasters were split. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag game. :)
