What to do with leftover breadsticks and pasta salad...

Whenever we go to restaurants, it seems like such a waste to throw away all of those bread sticks or rolls that they give you.  Often their servings are so large, we end up with 5 to 6 leftover.  Here is a recipe that uses those bread sticks or rolls.  If you don't have the bread sticks, simply substitute torn up bread pieces.  If you don't have leftover pasta salad, use leftover or fresh cooked pasta.  To make this recipe a complete meal, add cooked chicken and serve a salad on the side.  Enjoy!
