Pasta Carbonara Salad
I modified this recipe off of the back of skinner pasta package. Theirs called for boiled eggs and not peas, but that just sounded weird to me. Although afterwards, i didn't really like the peas in the mixture. it also says to add 1/4 c extra mayo/miracle whip right before you serve it, but i don't know if that is necessary. I used both mayo and miracle whip because i ran out of mayo, but can be used with one or the other. This is a rather bland recipe, so you can always spice it up one way or another.
Steps
Cook shells according to package directions with oil and salt.
Drain.
Rinse with cold water to cool quickly.
I rinsed twice and returned to cooled pasta pot.
In a large bowl combine mayo / miracle whip , cheese , milk , garlic powder and pepper.
Stir mixture into pot.
I transfered some of the pasta back to the bowl to mix , makinh sure i had soaked up all of the mixture.
Add crumbled bacon and drained peas.
Refrigerate.
