Creamy Ranch Chicken Pasta

I saw this pasta on Cooking This and That and had to try it. She has really great recipes--I remade the potato salad from last year and oooooh it was as good as I remembered! Will make it again for this weekend, I think.

The pasta was really great--I had it with a side of steamed broccoli, which I think would also be good mixed in. I think you could mix in almost any green veggie into this and have good results.

I like ranch, and I liked this stuff! If you don't like ranch, you will not like this stuff :)
