Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add rotini, and cook until tender with a bite, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain well and arrange on a large rimmed baking sheet to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, add bacon to a large skillet over medium heat; cook, stirring often, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and discard drippings.
