Sunflower, Bacon and Parmesan Bow-tie Pasta Salad image

One of my co-workers found this recipe from a local grocery store; when we have potlucks we hope he'll make this salad. It's very easy and very tasty - but you really can't go wrong with bacon and parmesan-now can you? (The cooking time - includes the minimum chill time.)

This pasta salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra herbs and spices next time.

This pasta salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I had a hard time finding sunflower bacon, so I used regular bacon instead. It was still delicious!

This pasta salad was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less Parmesan cheese next time.
