Caesar BLT Pasta Salad

4oz bow tie pasta (I used Barilla)
olive oil spritz
1/2 large vine rippen tomato
1/2c kale, finely chopped
1/4c fresh chopped parsley
3 green onions, chopped
4 button mushrooms, finely chopped
5 Tblsp bacon, chopped finely
2 Tblsp caesar dressing (I used Kraft because I was out of my natural dressing)

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and add bow tie pasta, cook al dente.

In a skillet, spritz with olive oil and combine the tomato, kale, parsley, onions, mushrooms and bacon.  Saute on medium heat until all veggies are tender.  Add the caesar dressing and saute another 1 minute, continually stirring.

Drain pasta and pour into glass bowl.  Add caesar mixture and toss.  Serve warm or cold.
