This recipe was so easy and different. It’s nice to have a change once in a while. The only thing I did different is that I used linguini. Try it!

This was pretty good. Followed directions pretty much exactly but used Garlic Ranch dressing! I did add all the bacon in beforehand and I should have just followed the directions. It is best to add them last!

I made this salad for my mom's 70th birthday party and potluck dinner. It went over well. It's a great salad because of its unique combination of simplicity and great flavor. It's a refreshing salad with good punch. Don't leave out the onion. It's a necessary element.

this was very good but a tad dry. i liked that the dressing was NOT overpoweringly ranch but had a subtle flavoring of it. it could almost pass for the traditional mayo but had the nice bonus of being "light". i would probably make this again.

I made this pasta salad for a bridal share and everyone loved it. Because I had to make so much of it I used Hormel Real Bacon Bits instead of frtying up four pounds of bacon. It turned out wonderful. I love this recipe.

This was a great pasta salad but I followed some of the other ladies modifications by using the Hidden valley ranch dressing packet. Plus I used green onions instead of regular ones and added peas and orange peppers.

I left out the onion, used Hidden Valley Ranch, and make sure to add the bacon just before serving, as it gets rubbery after a day or so of soaking in the dressing. Very good.

Great recipe. I tried it the first time with directions as listed, the second time I added packaged Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and it really gave it a lot of zing. It's great both ways! Thanks so much for a perfect way to use summer tomatoes! I never have any left over.

Simple and quick; was a hit at the pot luck dinner. Don't think you can mess this one up. Only change I made was to boil the pasta with some chopped garlic and garlic juice for an added kick.

Just by reading the recipe sounds somewhat boring. I think it would need more color. Kinda of bland.. Maybe some broccoli, red peppers, mushrooms, more chopping involved but I think it would worth the effort...

Very easy and quick pasta salad to make. I used Bacon Ranch salad dressing and used scallions instead of onions. I did have to add more ranch dressing after it sat in the fridge as the pasta soaked up alot of the dressing. This recipe makes alot, perfect for a potluck or picnic.

I changed this quite a bit, but it tasted great!! I used the Ranch bacon Kraft dressing - great (even though we usually only have Hidden Valley Ranch at home), I used the pre-made bacon bits - real bacon pieces, I used the red onion in place of a small onion, and I used grape tomatoes I cut in half. I mixed almost the whole bottle of dressing in first, then let it sit upside down and right before serving added the rest. It was very good and I had very little left after a neighborhood potluck!! Thanks for this recipe - so simple I must use it again!!

Although this salad was extremely easy, I didn't care for it. I thought it was very bland (even after trying to doctor it up with some spices.) I think the Light Ranch dressing has a funny taste to begin with, and that could be why I didn't care for this.

I also used the baccon ranch dressing. I added frozen peas, chopped celery, red onion and extra dressing. I used whole wheat pasta because its what I had on hand, and no one could tell. Everyone loved it, and it is super easy to make. Thanks for the recipe!

At first I did not like this salad. But it actually tasted better the second day. Not a bad salad and everyone at the picnic ate it up. Followed recipe to the tee.
