Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni

  • 2 cups frozen peas

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • 8 ounces mild Cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes

  • 3 stalks celery, chopped

  • ½ white onion, chopped

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain macaroni and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

  2. Add peas, mayonnaise, Cheddar cheese, celery, and onion to the macaroni. Stir to combine.

Cook's Note:

You can use mini pasta shells or farfalle instead of elbow macaroni, if desired.
