I can tell you with 100% certainty this recipe has too much ranch dip/sauce. It is super, super thick and personally, over powering. Next time I will either cut down on the sour cream and mayo or I'll add a lot more pasta and veggies. Other than that, I thought this was good, not great, but good. Did you ever have the boxed BLT pasta salad? It actually tastes a lot like it, except with real veggies instead of freeze-dried ones. Would I make this again? Yes. Would I make this often? No.
1 lb medium shell pasta
1 pint grape tomatoes
1 lg cucumber
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1-1 1/2 cups cooked and chopped bacon
1 pk dry Ranch mix
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse with cold water until pasta is cool. Drain and pour into a large bowl.
Halve the tomatoes and add to the pasta. Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Using a teaspoon, remove all the seeds. Cut each half of the cucumber in half lengthwise again and give it a small/medium chop. You want it to be slightly smaller than your shells. Add your cucumber and thawed peas to the pasta.
In a small bowl, mix together dry Ranch mix, bacon bits, mayonnaise and sour cream together. Pour over pasta mixture and toss until well combined. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
