This is one of those classic pasta salads that almost everyone has a recipe for. This is mine! Even though it's a great side for cookouts and picnics, I enjoy it all year round. Hope you do too!
Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad
1 16 oz box of shell pasta
1 cup shredded cheese
1 cup bacon bits
1/2 bag frozen peas
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup mayo
Cook pasta according to directions. Drain and allow to come to room temp. While the pasta is cooking, rinse frozen peas until they thaw. Combine the ranch dressing and mayo. Pour over pasta in a large bowl. Add cheese, bacon and peas and combine really well. Chill for several hours before serving.
You can use any short pasta of your choice. You may need more or less of the dressing/mayo mixture depending on your taste. I like enough to just coat the pasta.
Enjoy!
