1/2 cup milk

12 ounces bacon

3 ripe tomatoes

fresh thyme

1/2 cup mayo

1/4 cup sour cream

What you do:

Like any good recipe, it's up to you on how much pasta or lettuce to use, along with the scallions - so use the freedom to have as much as you'd like! Cook the pasta, chop the onion and crumble up that bacon, then mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl.

Put all of that delicious food in a big tupperware, head to your party and enjoy!
