Creamy ranch pasta salad with crispy bacon, sweet green peas, and smoked cheddar cheese is a cool and creamy pasta salad recipe for summer.
I like the spiral-shaped pasta, but feel free to use another short pasta like penne, bow ties, orecchiette, or cavatappi.
For the best creamy pasta salad, ensure the pasta is at room temperature before mixing it with the dressing. You can speed this up and chill the pasta on the sheet pan in the refrigerator so it’s cold when you mix it up with the dressing.
This salad is heavy on cheese, so for a less cheesy experience (but why, though?), you can halve the amount and use one kind (tip: pick the smoked cheddar).
