Bottled Ranch Dressing is LOADED with sodium - so I am going to post a recipe called "Italian Dressing - Low Sodium" that you ought to try instead of store-bought dressing. Also, how on earth do you squeeze TEN servings out of 2-3 CUPS OF PASTA????

This recipe is great. It is perfect for a picnic or potluck. It is not meant to be a main dish. I had a Packer Party with 9 guys and it was all gone, but we had enough to go around. I now make 4 cups of rotini noodles and a Large bottle of Ranch and it tastes great. This recipe is a huge hit. The guys wanted the recipe to give to their wives to make!

This was Fantastic! You can lighten it up by using Fat Free Ranch dressing or Krafts Light Done Right. Also to the previous reviewer she DOEESNT SAY TWO THIRDS CUP OF PASTA SHE SAYS 2 TO 3 CUPS OF PASTA! Some people don't pay attention too well I guess! Anyway thanks for the recipe nice easy salad for the summertime!

I used a 1 pound box of rotini which is about 6 cups dry and a 16 ounce bottle of the dressing when I made this salad. I'd like to try some chopped green olives in this next time. The taste was great and as for the over all appearance it was very appealing to the eye as well.

We really enjoyed this. It's a very versatile recipe. You can add and subtract ingredients to suit your taste. I added shredded cheddar, real bacon bits and black olives. Thanks!
