Updated Oct 27, 2008

Ingredients

2 cups uncooked farfalle (bow-tie) pasta (4 ounces)
2 cups broccoli florets
2 medium tomatoes, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
1/3 cup diced red onion
1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (6 ounces)
1 tablespoon Betty Crocker™ Bac~Os® bacon flavor bits or chips
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps

1

Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Place broccoli in boiling water. Cover and cook 1 minute; drain. Immediately rinse with cold water; drain.
2

While pasta is cooking, layer tomatoes, broccoli, bell pepper and onion in 2-quart glass serving bowl.
3

In medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, yogurt, sugar and curry powder. Stir in pasta. Layer pasta evenly over onion in serving bowl.
4

Sprinkle with cheese. Top with bacon bits and parsley. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving but no longer than 24 hours.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

tip 1
Use star- or tree-shaped pasta, rotini or any medium shell pasta.
tip 2
Cooking the broccoli quickly in boiling water softens it slightly and brings out the bright green color. Pat dry with a paper towel so it maintains its crispness.
