With some uncooked Fettuccine pasta packed in a box found in the kitchen drawer, we have decided to toss all of them into a pot of boiling water, drained them dry and make our very own cold pasta salad dish for the family dinner, which we call it Egg and Bacon Fettuccine Pasta Salad.
This less guilt pasta salad is well mixed with ingredients such as hard boiled eggs, baked bacon and vegetables. Besides adding olive oil into this salad dish as a dressing, you can also topped it with sauces like mayonnaise or some other tangy tasting dressing of your own preference.
Some people might love to add vinegar, but for us, we added freshly squeezed lemon juice for the tangy taste to refreshen up our tastebuds.
