Ingredients

½ (8 ounce) package penne pasta
1 cup frozen peas
5 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, cubed
6 slices cooked crispy bacon, minced
½ bell pepper, chopped
¼ onion, minced
1 (6 ounce) container plain Greek yogurt

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Mix in frozen peas (which will thaw and cool the pasta at the same time).
Add Cheddar cheese, bacon, bell pepper, and onion; mix well. Stir in Greek yogurt. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
