Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package directions until it is cooked al dente. Drain and rinse in cold water.
Add the pasta to a medium mixing bowl. Add the lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and garlic powder.
Add the dressing to the pasta.
Stir everything together until it is all well-coated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve right away.

Notes

If you are going to make this ahead of time, don't add the lettuce until just before serving. It tends to get limp if left in the dressing for too long.
