Bacon Broccoli Ranch Pasta Salad image

Yummy! This is a great dish to take to barbecues, football parties, pot lucks. **I have no idea the # of ounces, but you want the large size Ranch (not the jumbo, just large) and the regular package of penne pasta.

Categories     Penne

Time 45m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
1 head broccoli
1 lb crisp bacon, crumbled
1 (16 ounce) bottle Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing
2 (2 1/4 ounce) cans black olives
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Fry bacon crisp & crumble. You don't want it to still be hot when you add it to pasta salad.
  • Boil pasta according to package instructions.
  • While pasta is boiling, cut broccoli into bite size florets.
  • Rinse pasta in cold water & drain.
  • In large mixing bowl combine pasta, broccoli, olives, ranch dressing to taste, crumbled bacon and salt & pepper.
  • (grated chees & grated carrots are nice variations.).
  • Chill before serving. I like to make it the day before I plan to serve it.
