Delicious. I made this for a church dinner and had several requests for the recipe. I added roasted chicken pieces which made it even better.

it's a pretty good recipe, I didn't have cheese on hand when I made it, so I didn't put cheese it, but it still good.

Very good. Next time I think I'll leave out the cheese. I don't really think it brought much to the meal. I also used a pack and a half of ranch dressing mix instead of just one because it didn't taste "ranchy" enough for me with just one. I'll definitely make this again.

This is pretty good.......but then again what isn't with cheese and bacon in it. Next time I will use less of the ranch seasoning powder - pretty salty for us. I used 1/2 regular mayo and 1/2 non fat mayo and I just quartered up some cherry tomatoes instead of dicing up a whole tomatoe. I will make this again.

My all time favorite pasta salad! It's a must have during the summer when going to the lake. I always double the recipe, but leave the amount of ranch the same.

My husband and i loved this pasta salad (as he is a huge fan of ranch). Omitted the olives and it still turned out very very good.

followed directions EXACTLY, and it came out WONDERFUL. I couldn't stop "sampling it...." while it was chilling. It only gets better the next day from being in the fridge. I recommend making your own bacon, using thick cuts. I also ADDED tiny precooked ham cubes scattered on top. HOLY COW, I'm addicted!

Very tasty! I added fresh garlic, rather than powdered, and ordinary black pepper as I don't have any garlic pepper. I will definitely make this again. Rinse the pasta in cold water after cooking to stop it sticking together.

The only change I made to this recipe was to add some red onion. The dressing tasted very very salty, but didn't taste salty once I added it to the pasta. The pasta soaks up the dressing right away, ended up having to add additional ranch dressing from the bottle. I was not impressed with this at all. Took it to a neighborhood bbq, one person said they loved it, no one else mentioned it, which means it wasn't a keeper in my book... If I was to make this again, I would add way more bacon, 10 slices wasn't enough...

Yum! Everyone loved this pasta salad. I used an entire package of ranch dressing mix and extra garlic, because I love garlic! It did get a little dry but I just added extra milk. Wonderful recipe!

This recipe is a hit! My pregnant friend can't get enough of it! I added cucumbers to the salad and sour cream to the dressing. Make sure that you add the bacon before you serve so it retains it's crunchiness. Other than that it's a keeper!

This sounded really tasty but in the end I was disappointed. It was ok, but very dry and kind of bland.

I was going back and forth between 3 or 4 stars for this recipe. I decided 4 stars because it is a good pasta salad. But like a lot of others said after refrigeration it really gets thick and dry. Which normally a lot of pasta salads do that after refrigeration anyways. So right before eating we made more sauce and mixed in to make it creamy again. I liked this but I have had better pasta salads that I prefer over this one. I might make it again for a family get together sometime.
