Marty:

That looks and sounds awesome. Sorry I haven't been on. I actually don't use any BBQ sauce in this. I do some the meat that I plan on using (my favorite being country style pork ribs) as well as grilling the vegetables. We smoke garlic in bulk and save it in the freezer. Beyond that it is basic pasta with our home made signature marinara sauce. Some time I'll right it all down and post it.

One of my favorites.
BBQ PASTA SALAD
Ingredients
1 pound fusilli (or your favorite) pasta
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped fine
2 ribs celery, chopped fine
2 whole scallions, sliced thin
8 ounces pulled pork
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish
Directions
Bring 4 quarts water to boil, in large pot, over high heat. Salt the water, add the pasta and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and allow to cool, then transfer to large bowl.

In another large bowl, mix together vinegar, hot sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, mayonnaise and BBQ sauce. Add chopped vegetables and toss to coat. Pour BBQ dressing over pasta and mix well. Place the pork on top and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, then garnish with parsley.
