This dino shaped pasta salad has all my kiddos fave ingredients including chicken, bacon, cheese, and peas. Mix it all up and toss with creamy ranch dressing for an easy meal. Inspired by our favorite monster movie, Jurassic Park!
On the last (or fourth) Monday of each month, a group of bloggers participate in a #MovieMondayChallenge, hosted by C’mon Get Crafty! We decide on a topic, genre, or specific movie to use for inspiration and everyone gets free reign to create something wonderful!
This month’s challenge was. . . . MONSTER MOVIES! Everyone was allowed to choose their own favorite film so long as it was inspired by the Monster challenge. I chose my kid’s favorite monster: dinosaurs! So I immediately thought about the scariest movie I saw as a child and that was
Jurassic Park!

I found this fun dino pasta at our local Central Market and knew my kiddos would love it!
Cook pasta according to package and drain.
How cute is this pasta?!
I cooked 2 thin boneless chicken breasts and 5 slices of bacon then chopped it up.
Add all ingredients to a large bowl.
Now add ranch dressing. I used honey bbq flavor.
Start with 1/4 cup ranch and add more to taste or if the pasta soaks it up.
Toss to combine.
Serve right away or cover and chill.
Hope you love this Rawr-some pasta as much as my little monsters do!
