Bacon, Tomato and Ranch Pasta Salad

Delicious as a side, and great for Natalie's school lunches

1 large tomato diced
1/2 cup parsley finely chopped
1/2 small red pepper finely chopped
1/2 green pepper finely chopped
1/2 cup black olives halved
1/2 cup crispy bacon pieces
1/2 cup Uncle Dan's/ Hidden Valley mix (ranch packet mix)
1 package bow-tie or shell pasta

Take half a package of bacon, dice it up and cook it until really crisp, cool and add to large bowl. Cut up tomatoes, olives, parsley, green pepper and red pepper, add to bowl. Make the ranch as instructions say, add 1/2 cup to bowl, cook pasta until soft, rinse with cold water, add to bowl. Mix, enjoy!
