The creamy Pasta Salad is topped with a silky and creamy sauce and is stuffed with peas, bacon, and noodles. It makes a delicious side dish for any meal, BBQ, or potluck.
You’re going to rapidly get to love this creamy pasta salad as a side dish. It goes well with nearly any type of food, but we really enjoy it with grilled chicken, a fresh salad, or some hamburgers. It’s also ideal for bringing to a dinner that’s a potluck style!
Finally, the weather is warming up, and we are eager to spend as much time outside as we can. That includes attempting to eat as much of your evening meal outside. Our preferred method is to grill some delicious steak and serve it with a delicious side dish, some fresh or grilled vegetables, melons, and of course, a delicious pasta salad like this one!
