Instructions
- Follow the package directions for cooking the pasta until it is al dente; while it cooks, cube the cheese and dice the pickles and red onion.
- Drain the pasta and rinse it with cold water. Add your pasta, cheese, pickles, and onion to a large bowl.
- Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, pickle juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a smaller mixing bowl. Whisk well.
- Toss the dressing with the pasta mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Experiment with different pickle varieties. Bread-and-butter pickles can add a sweet twist or spicy pickles can give it a nice kick of heat.
- This recipe works great with any small pasta shape: rotini, small shells, bow ties, or elbow macaroni.
- Cook your pasta just until al dente - slightly firm. Overcooked pasta can get mushy after sitting in the dressing.
- Drain and cool your pasta before mixing it with the other ingredients. Hot pasta can cause the cheese to start to melt.
- Cut your cheese and pickles into similar-sized pieces.
