BLT Pasta Salad
BLT Pasta Salad is a go-to for dinner!
Pasta is my first love. That’s basically a given. I absolutely love pasta! As I was flipping through a recent issue of Cooking Light, I landed on this recipe for BLT Pasta Salad. It wasn’t even a minute before I had this on our menu for the week.
The best part for me was that I had most of the ingredients in my pantry. That’s a win! That meant I could whip it up without spending a fortune on a meal although this is definitely a frugal meal.
I adapted it just a bit from the original and baked the bacon in the oven as opposed to in the skillet. Then, instead of cooking the remaining ingredients in the grease, I simply used olive oil. That likely saved me a few calories too.
If you are in need of a quick and easy meal, this is certainly it, plus it’s super tasty!
