CHEESY BACON RANCH PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Boil the pasta until it's tender.
• Drain and rinse with cold water, until it's cool to the touch.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the milk, ranch packet, and mayonnaise until it's mixed well.
• Stir the ranch mix into the pasta until all the pasta is coated.
• Add the bacon and cheese, and mix well again.
• Chill for at least one hour before serving.
• Keep chilled until ready to serve.

CHEESY BACON RANCH PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Slice bacon into thin strips (1/2 - 1 inches in width). Separate slices and place into a preheated frying pan.
• While bacon is browning, prepare the tortellini's according to the package's directions. When the tortellini's are fully cooked, run under cool water, drain, and set aside to cool.
• When the bacon is fully cooked, carefully drain the grease and spread the bacon pieces onto paper towels to remove excess grease. Set aside to cool.
• Slice the tomatoes in half.
• In a large bowl, combine the tortellini's, bacon, tomatoes, cheese and ranch dressing. Stir to combine.
• Cover and refrigerate at least one hour, but as much as 2 days.
• When ready to serve, you may add the extra ranch dressing if you wish.

CHEESY BACON RANCH PASTA SALAD RECIPE

• Mix until well combined. Place in fridge for about 2 hours before serving.

CHEESY BACON RANCH PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the avocado mayo and the Greek yogurt until well blended. Add the room temperature buttermilk and mix until blended. Add the dill, parsley, chives, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Mix in the lemon juice to taste. Blend well. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the pasta salad.
• While preparing the ranch dressing, cook the pasta. I like to cook chickpea pasta just a hint shy of what the directions say so it doesn't get mushy, so I cooked mine about 6 minutes. (I'd almost have even gone another minute though, in retrospect.) Drain the pasta, and rinse with cold water. (That really helps when using chickpea pasta to keep it from being mushy!) Place in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to prep the salad.
• Cook the bacon in the oven according to package directions...I did 400° for about 12 minutes. Place in refrigerator when done until done chopping celery.
• Chop the celery. Place in a large bowl with the cooked and cooled pasta, the grape tomatoes, and cheese. Break the turkey bacon into bite-size pieces and add to the bowl. Toss the ingredients, adding the Greek yogurt ranch dressing and mixing to coat evenly.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve!

• In a smaller bowl, combine your barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, spicy brown mustard, plain Greek yogurt, garlic salt, and salt and pepper.
• Pour the sauce mixture over the pasta salad mixture, and mix until well combined, and the pasta is evenly coated.
• Store in fridge until ready to serve.
