A fun and satisfying twist on a classic club sandwich, combining your favorite sandwich ingredients with tri-color pasta for a delicious and colorful dish.
Ingredients
Pasta and Base Ingredients
- 12 oz tri-color pasta
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 cup bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup salami, diced (or diced ham)
- 1 cup cooked turkey or cooked chicken, diced
- 8 oz block of cheddar cheese, cubed
Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the tri-color pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking and cool the pasta.
- While the pasta cooks, prep your ingredients: cube the cheddar cheese, dice the tomato, chop the bacon, lettuce, and salami (or ham), and cut the turkey or chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Mixing
- In a big mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until smooth and well blended.
- Add the cooled pasta, cheddar cubes, diced tomato, bacon, lettuce, salami, and turkey or chicken to the bowl with the dressing.
- Gently toss everything together until all the pasta and toppings are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
Refrigeration
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let all the flavors mingle and develop.
Notes
Store any leftover pasta bowl in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Stir before serving to mix everything up again. Chill longer for richer flavors. You can change the meat options according to taste; try diced ham or add more veggies for extra crunch.
