- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Prepare the Peas and Bacon: Thaw peas in warm water for 5 minutes. In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Crumble bacon and set aside.
- Combine the Main Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled pasta, thawed peas, crumbled bacon, and parmesan cheese. Gently toss to mix.
- Make the Creamy Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth.
- Dress the Salad: Pour dressing over pasta mixture and stir gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Chill and Serve: Cover with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving.

Notes
Chill for at least an hour before serving to enhance flavor. Rinse pasta under cold water to prevent mushiness.
