Countryside Pasta Salad

---

I found this recipe on a can of tomatoes. it tastes great right after it is made or even the next day. the addition of bacon adds a nice smokey flavor to this pasta salad. you could easily add some chopped cooked chicken and serve this on a bed of lettuce for a complete lunch.
