INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 1 pound bowtie pasta

  • Meat

    • 10 slices bacon

  • Seasoning

    • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • Pickles

    • 2 cups chopped refrigerated dill pickles
    • 2 tablespoons dill

  • Dairy

    • 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese
    • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
    • 2/3 cup sour cream

STEPS

1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons salt and pasta to water and cook, stirring often, until pasta is al dente, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water just enough to bring the pasta to lukewarm or room temperature. Drain well.

2

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.

3

Add pasta to a large bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon chopped pickles, 1 teaspoon dill, and 1 tablespoon bacon for garnish. Add cheese and remaining pickles, dill, and bacon to the pasta bowl.

4

In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining salt with pickle brine, mayonnaise, sour cream, black pepper, and onion powder until well combined.

5

Pour mixture over pasta mixture and toss well to coat. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl and top with reserved pickles, dill, and bacon. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
