Ingredients

• ¼ onion, minced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 (6 ounce) container plain Greek yogurt
• ½ (8 ounce) package penne pasta
• 5 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, cubed
• 6 slices cooked crispy bacon, minced
• ½ bell pepper, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Mix in frozen peas (which will thaw and cool the pasta at the same time).

Step 2

Add Cheddar cheese, bacon, bell pepper, and onion; mix well. Stir in Greek yogurt. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
