Pasta Carbonara Salad image

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.
