Preparation
Step 1
Fill a large pot with lightly salted boiling water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 mins. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Transfer to a bowl, and refrigerate until cool; at least 30 mins.
Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 mins. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, let cook, and chop.
In a large salad bowl, stir together the ranch dressing, bacon, parmesan cheese, carrot, celery, and red onion until well combined. Lightly stir in the cooled pasta to coat with dressing, and refrigerate 2 hours to blend flavors before serving.
