In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and dry French onion soup mix. Stir until well combined.
Add the cooked and cooled farfalle pasta to the bowl with the dressing.
Gently stir everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the dressing.
Top the pasta salad with crispy fried onions, chopped fresh parsley, and a fresh crack of black pepper before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; add crispy fried onions fresh just before serving.
Yes, assemble the salad up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate. Add the crispy fried onions just before serving to keep them crunchy.
Farfalle (bow-tie) pasta holds the creamy dressing well and adds visual appeal, but small shells or penne work as substitutes.
Yes, plain Greek yogurt works as a lighter substitute for sour cream, though it will be slightly tangier and less rich.
Add them as a topping right before serving rather than mixing them into the salad, as they soften quickly when exposed to moisture.
No, traditional farfalle pasta contains gluten. Use certified gluten-free pasta and check that your French onion soup mix is gluten-free.
