Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry I love this recipe because it is family friendly, plus kids love pasta and meatballs. I also love Italian food and using Ranch in my recipe kicked it up a notch. I created this recipe for my family to enjoy. *Tip, powdered Parmesan works best for this recipe because it melts better in the sauce.

GARLIC RANCH PASTA (WW)



Garlic Ranch Pasta (Ww) image

This is written as a Weight Watchers recipe but is easily adaptable to full fat ingredients and tastes good either way! It's not meant to be a complicated, balanced meal but a quick, tasty supper dish that goes well with just about anything. I like the flavour of garlic to be quite strong so feel free to use less if you do not.
