Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the small pasta noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta and rinse under cold water.
- Prepare the Mix-ins: Thaw the frozen peas in a microwave for 1-2 minutes. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until crispy, then chop it into pieces.
- Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and granulated sugar. Add salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, thawed peas, chopped bacon, and Parmesan cheese. Gently toss until well mixed.
- Add the Dressing: Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and gently stir until evenly coated.
- Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Stir before serving and enjoy!

Notes
For best flavor, allow the salad to chill for at least 1-2 hours before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
