welcome back everyone to Katherine’s plates where it’s always simple easy and delicious today we are making a copycat recipe we’re going to get the idea from Suddenly Pasta Salad we’re not using this box at all but we’re going to recreate what’s in the box this is a ranch and bacon flavored pasta salad so that’s what we’re going to create these are pretty popular and they come in different flavors so so it’s a delicious side dish but making your own is even better because who knows what all of these ingredients are all right I’ve got my water boiling let’s go ahead and get our pasta started and I’m going to show you what I’m using I’ve brought a large pot of water to a boil we’re going to add two teaspoon of salt flavor that water all right let’s talk about the noodles you can use the small shells or medium shells which I’m using right here this is 12 oz we’re going to add the noodles to our boiling water we’re going to cook these per the directions on the back of the package until they’re tender I’m going to give these a start move these around a little bit for about 30 seconds that will help them not stick I’m going to put my timer on for 11 minutes about halfway through we’re going to come back and I’m going to show you what we’re going to add it’s the six minute Mark we’re going to go ahead and add half a cup of frozen peas get them all in there and then we’re going to add in half a cup of shredded carrot now these carrots were already shredded I just picked them up in a package like that to make my life a little easy but they’re going to cook in there and get nice and tender I’m going mix this together now we’re going to finish cooking the pasta until it’s tender and then the vegetables will cook also all right let’s drain our pasta and the peas and the carrots we’re going to take some cold water we’re going to run it over the pasta the peas and the carrots that’ll stop the cooking process and cool down everything for our salad just keep running the water over it until everything is nice and cool down all right we’re going to shake out the excess water water I’m going to blot it dry with a little bit of paper towels and then we’ll put it into a mediumsized bowl let’s make a delicious dressing for our homemade pasta suddenly salad in a medium Bowl we’re going to add half a cup of mayonnaise or I’m using Miracle Whip now Miracle Whip is more sweeter than your regular mayonnaise all right let’s add that to our Bowl to our Miracle Whip or mayonnaise we’re going to add in 3 tablespoon of ranch seasoning mix I have my own homemade mix right here now if you want to make your own home homemade ranch seasoning I have it on my recipe blog cther plates.com and go check it out all right we’re going to add one two and three we’re going to add 2 tablespoons of milk we’re going to whisk this together [Music] M all right let move this stuff out of the way and get our bacon ready this is an easy salad to put together easy easy we’re even going to be using these chopped bacon already prepared for you you know where you can find these in your salad aisle that has the dressings and croutons we’re going to add about 3 tablespoons or you can make your own bacon and crumble it in about three pieces all right I’m going to just use a whisk so I don’t get the bacon stuck in there I’m going to give that a taste though case that make sure you don’t need any salt or pepper in there I’m going to have my husband try give that a try and tell me what you think this is your last effort here to flavor it up oo that’s good huh that’s good he likes it Tangy Tangy yummy all right I’m just going to go in with my Miracle Whip spoon here blending that bacon try some of that yeah let me see what do you think ni bacon show y’all that’s how big it is we’re going to add our mixture to our pasta now if you want it thinner you can add another tablespoon of milk I’m going to leave it just the way it is that way it coats everything really well and your dressing doesn’t wind up on the bottom of your bowl you know at the end let’s mix it all together doesn’t this look good you just made your own homemade copycat version of a suddenly salad bacon and ranch flavor I had somebody ask me if I could do a macaroni salad that was different for the summer that had bacon and ranch in it so here you go all right here is my recipe on Katherine plates.com for my buttermilk ranch dressing mix now you can substitute the buttermilk the dry version and use the dry milk for it if you don’t like the buttermilk flavor what do y’all think hardly any effort at all perfect for any Summer Event you have going on picnics barbecues 4th of July coming up we got Labor Day coming too all right let’s Bowl this up or plate it up look at that put it in your refrigerator chill this out grab a bite right now which I’m fixing to do that bacon in there there’s my bite M that’s good love all those flavors going on in there that Miracle Whip just kind of gives it a little Zing right little difference than the mayonnaise you don’t need this and you certainly don’t need all of that just this right here with some simple ingredients all right you guys give me a

  2. This looks so good Catherine!๐Ÿ˜
    I grew up eating macaroni salad so this gives me a touch of nastalgia!๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜Š
    The boxed salad mix doesn't really stand alone and I would always add other ingredients to make it taste decent.๐Ÿ˜‹
    And making it myself would ensure that I knew what was in it!โ˜บ๏ธ
    Your timing is perfect as always since a cold salad would be more refreshing in this cruel Texas heat!๐Ÿฅต
    This is really the time that we just want to reach into the fridge and pull out a nice cold salad!๐Ÿ˜š
    Thanks for sharing another great recipe!๐Ÿฅฐ

  3. My favorite salad besides BLT salad. I have made lots of your recipes and love them. This will also be made. Thank you.

  4. I ad๐Ÿ˜‚d all of yellow chopped onion or green onions ,along with alot of shredded cheddar cheese.Don't forget your seasoning in the Miracle whip . I use a miracle in all my salads

  5. Oh yes! This looks delicious. I am absolutely making this recipe. Thanks Catherine. Stay cool! ๐Ÿ˜ฐ Love from Texas โค

  6. Sorry but you ruined it with the Miracle Whip. Ranch dressing MUST contain buttermilk and/or mayonnaise.

  7. Give you high five on this one super quick and easy recipe ๐Ÿ‘Œ and have a blessed day are night everyone โค๏ธ

  8. I like to use it for chicken salad.. Yummy recipe.๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ˜˜๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ˜‹๐ŸŒ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿ…๐Ÿซ‘๐ŸŒ

  9. Hi Catherine, your recipe looks Delicious. ๐ŸŽ‰I tried the Suddenly Salad Bacon Ranch 1 time, years ago. It wasn't very good. The bacon was those hard crunchy imitation bits. Terrible. Thank You for sharing your recipe. Going to make it for the 4th. Have A Great Day!

  10. Amazing, as usual!
    I โค pasta salad; shells are good… bowties & rigatoni are great too, anything you like, there's no right or wrong. ๐Ÿฅ‚ โค ๐Ÿ‘

  11. Hi Catherine , Enjoyed your video . We are always looking for a good summer side , like this one . Like I said I enjoyed your video , but I didn't realize you had a recipe for ranch dressing . I'm going there next , and am writing it . Sharing with my neighbor too . Already made your pecan pie cheese cake recipe , huge hit and I told where I got it . Your efforts are appreciated .

  12. I just tried this same box last week, used box directions only. It was bad, nothing impressive, dry, very little taste.
    So I have another pack & giving this a try!
    Thank you!
