Steps:
- Cook the pasta noodles in a large pot of water according to their package directions, until cooked al dente. Drain the water out, and rinse the noodles in cold water.
- While the pasta is cooking, make sure the peas are thawed, bacon is cooked and crumbled, and parmesan is grated. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk them together till combined.
- Add the pasta, peas, bacon, and parmesan to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the top. Stir it all together till everything is coated evenly in the dressing.

CREAMY PASTA SALAD WITH BACON AND PEAS
There's nothing like a cold pasta shell that's coated in a luscious, silky blanket of bliss. But instead of full-on mayo, I swapped in half Greek yogurt for some subtle tang. It is so good. Perfect for a neighborhood potluck. Divine for quick lunches throughout the week.

Steps:
- Boil the pasta until al dente, then drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Then crumble or chop into small pieces.
- Combine the pasta with the bacon, carrots, peas, onions, mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl and toss until coated and fully mixed together. Season generously with a pinch of salt and give another toss.
- Garnish with the parsley leaves if using. Cover and chill the pasta salad for about an hour.
PEAS, PASTA & BACON SALAD
When the temperature soars in the summer I can't face hot meals and serve nothing but assortments of salads, cheese and cold cuts for days on end. I value "main course" salads that will keep in the fridge from one meal to the next, and this one fits the bill. Fresh peas are quite amazing, but expensive and time consuming to shell. Frozen ones are not the same, but perfectly fine. If you use frozen peas, prep time will be much quicker. I have a big crop of snow peas this year; I think I will try them in this salad.

Steps:
- Shell the peas.
- One quart of peas in the pod should yield about two cups of peas.
- Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling water until it is al dente.
- Steam or boil the peas until tender.
- When each of these is done, plunge them into cold water to stop them cooking and to cool them.
- Meanwhile, chop the bacon into 1" pieces and fry it until crispy.
- Drain it well and allow it to cool.
- Wash and chop the celery finely.
- Add the bacon and celery to the cold drained pasta and peas.
- Mix the celery seed, pepper, cumin and mint into the mayonnaise and stir it into the salad.
- Refrigerate the salad for 20 minutes to an hour to allow the flavours to blend before serving.
- Serve garnished with a wedge of lemon, to be squeezed over if you like your salad a little tarter.

PEA PASTA SALAD WITH BACON AND CHEDDAR CHEESE
From saltysidedish.com
- To begin this pea pasta salad, cook and chop 6 strips of crispy bacon. To save time, pre-cooked bacon or bacon bits *may* be used, but we always recommend fresh ingredients for the best flavor. If you have an air fryer, bacon is super quick in the air fryer as well.
- While bacon is cooking, boil mini pasta shells according to package directions, drain and rinse with cold water. Should the shells stick prior to moving onto the next part of the salad instructions, simply re-rinse the shells to "unstick" them and make sure excess water is shaken out well.
