This week, Chef Nikki Glekas of Nikki Glekas Events, shows Tina Redwine how to turn a BLT into pasta salad. 

1 pound Bowtie pasta
1 pound Bacon cooked and crumbled
3 cups Shredded Romaine Lettuce
2 cups Cherry Tomatoes
1 ½ Mayo – but may need as little as ¾ cup depending upon your tastes

Salt
Pepper

Cook pasta in salted water according to the package.  Cut the tomatoes in half, shred romaine lettuce and crumble the cooked bacon.  Once pasta is cooked and cooled, combine all ingredients in a large bowl.  Add mayo, salt and pepper for taste.  For more of a meal you can add a protein like chicken.
