RANCH DRESSING PASTA
This is a good alternative to your regular pasta. I have used hidden valley ranch brand and others, all were great. I do like the fiesta ranch the best in this recipe. This is a recipe that comes together quickly. You could add warm cooked chicken chunks to this recipe for protein in the meal.

Steps:
- 1. Cook pasta per package directions,and run cold water over to cool. Drain very well.
- 2. Add all other ingredients, plus the 3/4 cup Ranch dressing.
- 3. Cover and chill, when ready to serve see if you need to add more Ranch dressing, as most pasta's will soak up the dressing and make your salad a little dry.
