Ingredients

10 servings

•

1 (16 ounce) package medium seashell pasta

1 pound sliced bacon
•

2 tomatoes, chopped
•

1 small onion, chopped

•

1.5 cups light Ranch-style salad dressing

Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels; crumble and set aside.
Combine pasta, 3/4 of the bacon, tomatoes, onion, ranch dressing, and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat. Mix in lettuce. Top with remaining bacon.
