Tips & Techniques

  • Special Touch

    Use star- or tree-shaped pasta, rotini or any medium shell pasta.

  • Success

    Cooking the broccoli quickly in boiling water softens it slightly and brings out the bright green color. Pat dry with a paper towel so it maintains its crispness.

Ingredients

  • 2  cups uncooked farfalle (bow-tie) pasta (4 ounces)
  • 2  cups broccoli florets
  • 2  medium tomatoes, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1  medium yellow bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1/3  cup diced red onion
  • 1  cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1/2  cup plain yogurt
  • 2  tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2  teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 1/2  cups shredded Cheddar cheese (6 ounces)
  • 1  tablespoon Betty Crocker® Bac~Os® bacon flavor bits or chips
  • 2  tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. 1Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Place broccoli in boiling water. Cover and cook 1 minute; drain. Immediately rinse with cold water; drain.
  2. 2While pasta is cooking, layer tomatoes, broccoli, bell pepper and onion in 2-quart glass serving bowl.
  3. 3In medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, yogurt, sugar and curry powder. Stir in pasta. Layer pasta evenly over onion in serving bowl.
  4. 4Sprinkle with cheese. Top with bacon bits and parsley. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving but no longer than 24 hours.
