1 pkg of Tri-Color Rotini (or whatever pasta shape you like)
1 pkg of dry ranch dip mix
mayo (to taste)
salt & pepper (to taste)
cheddar cheese (1-2 cups)
bacon bits (to your liking)

Cook pasta. Drain. Add mayo and ranch mix. Mix well until all pasta is coated. Add cheese and bacon bits. Chill for atleast a couple of hours. You may need to add a little mayo right before serving.

I've brought this salad to many get togethers and there is never any leftovers!
