Today I’m bringing you a quick and easy recipe I developed for Velveeta that would be a great side dish for your July 4th or any other summer meal! I hope you enjoy the video and the recipe that follows. Thank you so much for being the very best part of Southern Plate! Gratefully, Christy (Recipe is below)
Servings: 6 - 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Velveeta grated
- 10 ounces bowtie pasta
- ½ - ¾ cup mayonnaise if you like more dressing, add the full amount
- 1 can English peas drained
- 1 T spicy brown mustard can use regular if you have it on hand!
- 2-4 oz jar of pimentos
- ⅓ cup sweet pickle relish
- salt and pepper, to taste I start with ½ tsp of each
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain in a colander and run cold water over it to cool.10 ounces bowtie pasta
- Mix all other ingredients together in medium mixing bowl.1 cup Velveeta, ½ - ¾ cup mayonnaise, 1 can English peas, 1 T spicy brown mustard, 2-4 oz jar of pimentos, ⅓ cup sweet pickle relish, salt and pepper, to taste
- Add macaroni and mix well, adding more mayo if needed.10 ounces bowtie pasta, ½ - ¾ cup mayonnaise
- Chill for at least 1 hour and stir before serving.
Notes
- I always make this the night before. The flavors get so much better after a few hours in the fridge!
- Feel free to swap the bowtie pasta for elbow macaroni or rotini. Whatever you have in the pantry works great!
- If you're feeding a crowd, I'd recommend doubling the recipe. This one goes fast at potlucks and BBQs!
- For a bit of crunch, diced celery or red onion makes a great mix-in without overpowering the other flavors.

I always keep a bag or two of the mini bow tie pasta on hand. My children love when I cook this up, then turn it into either pasta salad or make it into chicken …. “My kids love this pasta with Velveeta, in fact they call it macaroni and cheese!
