Ingredients
1 (12 ounce) package bowtie pasta
1 cup bacon pieces, cooked and crumbled (about 6 slices)
1 (15 ounce) can peas, drained
2 cups shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Black pepper, to taste
Directions
Cook the bowtie pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, and black pepper in a small bowl to create the dressing. Set aside.
Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse thoroughly with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool completely.
Transfer the cooled pasta to a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked bacon pieces, drained peas, shredded carrots, and chopped red onion. Gently toss all ingredients together to combine.
Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta mixture and stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve immediately while fresh, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
