Creamy Bacon & Ranch Pasta Salad

Pretty to look at and delicious to eat, tri-colored pasta, bacon and creamy ranch dressing – easy pasta salad!

I am on quite a few food committees at church. (imagine that, right?)  It seems whenever the funeral food committee calls for help, they need salads.  Typically pasta salad or a fruit salad.  When I find an easy one, I try to keep the ingredients on hand for if they need something. This is one of those salads.  It’s easy to throw together in a snap, and typically I have the ingredients in the pantry.

 It simply takes some tri-colored rotini pasta, a ranch dressing packet, some sour cream, mayo, bacon bits, olives and Parmesan cheese. It’s best to let it refrigerate overnight, to get all of those flavors up to full capacity! 😉

Feel free to throw in any other veggies you might enjoy — I love it with tomatoes, but in January, fresh ones are not good here in Nebraska, so I omitted them this time.
