Here are the instructions

• On a stove top bring a pot of water to a boil. Boil the pasta for 7-9 minutes, drain, and rinse.

Do I need to rinse the pasta?

You don’t have to if you’re having a pasta dish like spaghetti. The starch on the pasta helps the sauce stick to it. If you are having a cold pasta dish, then it’s a good idea to rinse the pasta to remove the starch, stickiness, and stop it from clumping together.

• While waiting for the water to come to a boil, and while the pasta is cooking. Debone your chicken, chop it up, and decide how much you’d like to add to your pasta dish. I put the rest of the chicken into baggies and freeze it in batches for casseroles and hot dishes. If you don’t want chicken in your pasta salad you can skip this step.

• Place the pasta, mandarin oranges, 1/2 cup non fat Greek yogurt, chicken, and cranberry pasta salad packet in a bowl.

• Stir the ingredients together until everything is coated, and chill for one hour.
