Creamy Ranch Pasta


Recently I told you that I was getting tired of our dinner menus. And, I dusted off an old recipe for Kielbasa and Rice that my kids really liked. This is another recipe that I have dug out that I had not made in years. My kids are pleased with it and it is super simple to make. Sometimes I will add some steamed broccoli, but my kids definitely prefer it without.
 
The seasonings in this recipe are the same as the dry mix for Homemade Ranch Dressing. However, I feel like the salt is a bit much, so I typically cut the salt down a bit. The recipe below has been adjusted to reflect the reduced amount of salt.

Creamy Ranch Pasta

8oz. cooked pasta
2 Tbsp. butter
3oz. cream cheese
½ cup milk
1 tsp. dried parsley
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
½ tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. onion powder

Cook pasta according to directions, drain and set aside. In the same pot, melt butter. Add cream cheese and whisk until melted. Add milk and seasonings. Wisk until thoroughly combined. Return pasta to the pot and stir together. Serve immediately.
