Ranch Bacon Pasta Salad

This is a huge hit at every BBQ! It's fast and easy, can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator. I also do a variation as a meal buy adding in rotisserie chicken and it's a family favorite.

Ingredients

1 lb of pasta (I use Ditalini) 1 package of hidden valley ranch mix (use the mix, not the bottled dressing!) prepare as directed ½ onion chopped ½ pound bacon cooked, crumbled- or as I prefer, buy the jar of Real Bacon along with the dressing packet.
