Ingredients
- 2 cups dry shell pasta
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 8 ounces green peas
- 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch ranch dressing mix
- 2 tablespoons bacon bits
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Bring water to a rolling boil in a large saucepan. Add pasta and carrot shreds and boil for 10 minutes. Drain using a strainer and rinse the pasta and carrots with cold water. Shake the strainer to remove excess water from the pasta.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the peas, the entire packet of ranch dressing mix, bacon bits, onion powder, and mayonnaise.
- Add the cooked pasta and carrots. Stir until the pasta is coated with the mayonnaise mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Notes
- Don't overcook the pasta.
- Rinse the cooked pasta in cold water. Normally, you wouldn’t do this with pasta, but it's necessary when preparing a pasta salad to keep the pasta from cooking further. Cool the pasta entirely before making the salad.
- Choose your brand of pasta carefully. Although pasta is cheap, spend a few extra pennies on a name brand you trust.
