Broccoli Cheddar Pasta Salad “Deli Copycat Recipe”

This broccoli cheddar pasta salad recipe is the one that you get at your local deli. There are a few food items that are hard to resist when passing the deli counter. This broccoli and pasta salad is one of them. I will purchase two pounds and bring it home just to see it evaporate the same day. To top it off, I was lucky to get a tablespoon of it.
