You really can’t go wrong with pasta salad. As long as the noodles are cooked, it’s pretty much a foolproof recipe to make. It’s fast to make, versatile and inexpensive. You can make a delicious pasta salad with canned foods, leftover meat, fresh garden veggies, herbs, spices, dressings, etc. You get the picture. This particular pasta salad that I’m sharing today is made with peas, corn, bacon mixed with garlic, lemon and butter. I love using bow tie pasta because it looks so nice in a bowl!
If you wish, use canned peas or corn in place of the frozen. Bear in mind though that the canned peas will be mushier than their frozen counterparts.
