Pasta Salad with Pancetta


salad


CRISPY PANCETTA

A Pasta Salad always compliments any great Italian outdoor meal. By adding the great taste of pancetta you’ll be making this salad your own. There are many variations of this salad but this is one of my favorite. I always love the taste of the crisp vegetables against the soft texture of the pasta.

Pancetta just adds a special flavor to this creamy salad. Fry up some of this delicious Italian bacon and toss it right into the pasta. A simple trip to a farmers‘ market or your backyard will supply all the vegetables you‘ll need.

Make sure the Pasta Salad is nice and chilled before serving.
