Any one have a good creamy pasta salad recipe?We Answered:
Good and SIMPLE!Cook one pound of shells, elbows, rotini or other pasta in salted water according to directions, adding one cup of frozen peas for the last 5 minutes.
Drain and cool under running cold water.
Mix about one cup of real mayonnaise, one pkg of dry ranch dressing mix, 6 slices of crisp crumbled bacon and (optionally) one bunch of scallions (green onions), sliced, tops included in a small bowl.
Combine the dressing with the drained pasta and peas. Add more mayonnaise if it seems too dry. Add a bit of milk if it seems too "thick". Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.
