CHEESY BACON RANCH PASTA SALAD



Cheesy Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad image

Working at a pizza shop in high school, I loved a recipe similar to this. After years of trying to duplicate it, I think I've come about as close as I'm going to get, and I love it. There are many variations on ingredients that will make it healthier, but I suggest trying the original first since it is sinfully delicious.
