CHICKEN-GORGONZOLA PASTA SALAD

Found this recipe in a Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake booklet Spring 2008 issue (the kind you find at check-out). It sounded so good and would probably make a wonderful lunch or a feature for a bridal/baby shower. I haven't made this yet but it will be made very soon! You may cook up your own bacon if not using precooked bacon. Prep/Cook Time is an estimate. The original recipe indicates start to finish is 20 min.

Time 30m

Yield 1 1/2 cups each, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 cups uncooked radiatore, pasta (nuggets, about 19 oz.)
4 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken breasts (about 20 oz.)
1 (2 1/8 ounce) package precooked bacon, cut up into small pieces (about 15 slices)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves, lightly packed
1 (16 ounce) jar refrigerated ranch dressing
1 cup gorgonzola, crumbled (4 oz)
bibb lettuce, if desired (optional)

  • To serve, line bowl with lettuce and spoon in salad.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your pasta salad sing. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp celery, and tender chicken.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Al dente pasta is the goal. It should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Let the pasta cool before adding the other ingredients: This will prevent the pasta from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You can always add more, but it's hard to take it away.
  • Serve the pasta salad immediately: This is when it's at its best. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
