Rated 5 out of 5 by from BACON RANCH PASTA SALAD This Ranch pasta salad recipe was great! I added 1/2 a cucumber and Green pepper and red onion! Tweaked a little more powered ranch and mayo because I made a little extra pasta! Used medium shells instead! Also added more cheddar cheese and didn't put the parmesan cheese! It was great for our Frisay night church group! They all wanted the recipe! Garnished with some Bacon Crumbles and grated cheddar cheese! Will make this again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easily adaptable I made this tonight for a get together. I didn't have all the ingredients and it still turned out very tasty! I doubled the recipe, but used less milk (~ 1/3 to 1/2 cup, I didn't measure) to create a thicker sauce.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Recipe, but made it my own. Leave all ingrediants overnight for flavors to meld, except for bacon. Add the bacon when ready to serve, so the bacon doesn't get soggy. Use Sea Salt to cooking pasta to taste and smell like the ocean. (No salt or extra salt needed, especially with bacon, since salt flavor is in pasta. Keep this in mind with cooking ALL pasta and rice.) Also if keeping lower sodium, the bacon doesn't need to be used to have an excellent falvor. Make sure your cheese is small cubed for even bite-sized with pasta. Do not forget the olives are sliced, as chopped is "lost" with presentation. I personally didn't use tomatoes, but would be great as most people like, (except me). I would suggest adding tomatoes with bacon, so the tomatoes are fresh; not soggy. The ratio for recipe is about right. Instead of Garlic Powder, use Granulated Garlic (not Granulated Garlic Salt or Powder). I served this in a large roasting pan for a family dinner. To keep cold, take ice and put into gallon bags and place under roasting pan. There are MANY ways to keep it cold, but this was easy. I also used 1/2 and 1/2, instead of milk for richness. But according to your dietary needs, as the HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH SEASONING MIX is the key for flavor! At Costco, I bought the 15.7 oz. container, as I use this seasoning for SO many other dishes I make. (Great in mashed potatoes, chicken, veggies, the list is endless.) Thanks for taking the time to read.
