Hot Wing Pasta Salad

This dish is so low-brow that I didn't even bother to put it into a real dish before photographing (or eating) it. 

We had hot wings on Super Bowl Sunday, of course.  There were a few leftover, and I can't bear to waste anything these days, so... I looked in the fridge.  Leftover pasta from a dinner of broccoli and shells (and lots of pecorino romano- yum!), leftover chicken wings, leftover blue cheese dressing (homemade, of course!)...celery and carrots...pasta salad!  Sounds totally wierd, I know, but trust me.  If you like hot wings, you'll like this!  It has the same addictive quality- nice and salty, a little spicy, a little creamy, blue cheesy, and vinegary.  Certainly not my most elegant creation, but definitely tasty!

Recipe?  Just pick your chicken wings clean and add the meat to cooked pasta.  Toss with finely diced carrots, finely diced celery, blue cheese dressing, and Frank's Red Hot!
