yummy in ya tummy

ok, so iHad to make a couple dishes for an event iHad two sundays ago, and iThought i'd share the recipe fot the pasta salad iMade!

RANCH PASTA SALAD

1 lb. pkg. pasta 1 bottle Ranch salad dressing (or a preffered dressing) 2 tomatoes 1 green pepper 6 green onions OR 1 small onion 1 cucumber Parmesan cheese Seasoning 1. Cook the pasta, then drain and cool . Be sure to add a dash of salt while it boiling. 2. Dice the vegeatables, and place in a large bowl. 3. Mix the drained pasta into the vegetables, and pour the dressing over it while mixing. 4. Then mix in the parmesan cheese and seasoning. 5. Serve immediately, or it can be put in the fridge until you are ready to serve.

pasta type: iWld recommend rotini, shells, macaroni [iUsed a mix of these 3] or any other short pastas: penne, farfalle [bowtie], fusilli, gemelli, etc. you can even use tortellini [just be sure that the flavor of filling wont clash with your salad dressing]

variations: you dont have to use salad dressing. you can use maybe like a vinegar and seasoning or flavored vinegar, or even like olive oil.
