Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces tri-color rotini pasta
  • 10 slices bacon crumbled
  • .5 cup mayonnaise
  • .5 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • .5 cup milk
  • 1 whole red onion diced
  • 5 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes about 6 small pieces from the jar, chopped
  • 10 ounces green peas defrosted
  • 4.25 ounces black olives sliced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded or diced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; cook rotini pasta at a boil for about 8 minutes, and drain.
  • While the pasta is cooking, place chopped bacon (or use whole slices) in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook until brown and crispy. Drain and chop if it hasn't been chopped before cooking.
  • In a large bowl, mix the mayo (I use light mayonnaise), sour cream, ranch dressing mix, milk, and garlic powder together.
  • Add the rotini pasta, diced onion, crumbled bacon, Dijon mustard, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, and cheese to the bowl with the mayo mixture. Toss well.
  • You can serve it immediately or put it in a container in your fridge for an hour before serving.
  • Enjoy!
