Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions – drain and set aside to cool. Any pasta is fine – shells, macaroni or penne work great. Once cool, grate the carrot and add to the pasta. Add the peas to the pasta as well as the onion and parmesan cheese.
- In a separate bowl, mix dressing mix and mayo together with a whisk. Whisking vigorously, pour the milk into the mayo little by little, whisking until well combined and creamy. Pour the dressing mix over the pasta and mix well with a large spoon. Salt and pepper to taste. Cool in fridge for an hour before serving. If taking to an outdoor event – keep cool until ready to serve and place any leftovers immediately in the fridge.
Notes
- This pasta sald is super versatile and you can make it one of your favorite recipes by adding your favorite veggies and seasonings like sweet peas, red bell pepper, bacon bits, black pepper, juicy tomatoes, fresh corn and more!
- Always cook the pasta to al dente, it will soften more as it sits in the refrigerator waiting to go to the summer bbqs!
- For an Italian pasta salad, you'll need to add an olive oil type dressing instead of a ranch and mayo dressing.
- Use any type of pasta you prefer like spiral pasta, rotini pasta, macaroni pasta or penne pasta, its completely a personal preference.
