Peppery Monterey Jack Pasta Salad

<p>What better way to hide my meat and cheese obsession then in a bed of vegetables and pasta! I came across this recipe last summer when looking for something light and filling for our summer neighbor night. I was not disappointed. I added a few more vegetables from my CSA box which I encourage you to do as well!! Enjoy!</p>
