"Bacon adds a delicious, smoky flavor to this pasta salad, along with diced tomatoes, celery, and onion. I used mini penne pasta in this recipe, but macaroni or similar pasta shapes would work as well. Make this tasty pasta salad for your next family cookout or take it along to a potluck dinner...."
