PASTA SALAD WITH RANCH RECIPES

Steps:

• Boil your pasta according to package instructions. You want the pasta to be al dente so it's not overcooked.
• While your pasta is boiling, gather all your other ingredients.
• In a medium bowl, mix up your Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning, Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix Packet with the mayo, sour cream, milk and garlic powder and set aside.
• Place all other ingredients in a large bowl.
• Once your pasta is finished, rinse under a cool stream of water until all the pasta is cool.
• Place the pasta in with the other ingredients, add the dressing and toss until well-coated.
• Chill or serve right away.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.
• Quickly rinse the cooked pasta in cold water to stop it from continuing to cook; drain.
• Mix the cooled pasta, broccoli, tomatoes, sliced green onions, celery, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in a large bowl.
• Gently stir the salad dressing, Parmesan cheese, sugar, basil, and salt in a bowl until evenly mixed.
• Pour the salad dressing mixture over the pasta mixture; gently toss to coat evenly.
• Refrigerate 3 hours to overnight before serving.
