To make this macaroni salad, I started by cooking some tubetti pasta according to the directions on the package.

Once the noodles were cooked, I drained them and ran them under cold water to cool them down.

When the noodles were cold, I gently dabbed them with paper towel to soak up any remaining water.

Then I dumped the cold noodles into a large mixing bowl.

I added some mayo to the bowl.

Then I added some salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning to the bowl.

I stirred until all of the noodles were coated in the mayo and spices.

Then I added some drained canned corn, diced red onions and crumbled bacon to the bowl.

I stirred until all of the ingredients were fully combined.

Then I added some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese to the bowl along with some chopped chives.

I stirred well again.

Then I covered the bowl and placed it in the refrigerator for couple of hours before serving so that the noodles could really absorb all the flavours.

This macaroni salad with bacon is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

This pasta salad is the perfect summer side dish but can be enjoyed any time of the year.
