Ranch, Bacon, And Parmesan Pasta Salad
Recipe Summary Ranch, Bacon, And Parmesan Pasta Salad
A great side dish for the summer picnic. I made this on accident when I put some soup ingredients into the bowl instead of the stock pot. I doctored it up and added other ingredients, and voila! Use your favorite pasta shape.

1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta1 cup prepared ranch dressing6 slices bacon½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese1 carrot, peeled and diced1 stalk celery, diced1 red onion, dicedDirections
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Transfer to a bowl, and refrigerate until cool, at least 30 minutes.Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, let cool, and chop.In a large salad bowl, stir together the ranch dressing, bacon, Parmesan cheese, carrot, celery, and red onion until well combined. Lightly stir in the cooled pasta to coat with dressing, and refrigerate 2 hours to blend flavors before serving.Lettuce or cabbage can also be substituted for the pasta in this recipe for a lighter summer salad with crunch.Info | Broccoli Salad Recipes With Bacon And Cheese
