Reesie's BLT Pasta Salad

2 C. Cavatappi pasta

6 slices of bacon
1 C. grape tomatoes
1 handful of spinach
1/2 tsp. of fresh basil, chopped fine
1/2 tsp. of fresh parsley, chopped fine (or dry parsley will also work)
1/2 cucumber, diced
1/4 red bell pepper, diced
1/3 onion, diced
1 T. green olives, sliced
1/2 C. frozen peas, defrost on the counter
1/2 C. ranch dressing, you can use more or less depending on how much you like

Make noodles according to the box, making sure to add some salt to the water. Drain and rinse in cold water. Pat dry to make sure most of the moisture is off. Let sit in the fridge for a bit to completely cool down. Cook bacon until crispy. Drain and let cool down.

While the noodles and bacon are cooking, chop up all your vegetables. Once everything is cool, mix everything, including the dressing, together in a large bowl. 

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve as main dish along with a side of toast. 
  • Serve with grilled chicken. 
  • Top with shredded cheese.
