HAM AND CHEESE RANCH PASTA
To cut the fat in this makeover recipe, we reduced the amount of butter from 1/4 cup to 1 tablespoon, switched the cheese to a reduced-fate Mexican cheese blend and chose lean ham over regular. These changes cut the calories by nearly a third and reduced the fat, saturated fat cholesterol and sodium by more than half.-Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin

Tips:
- Choose the right noodles: Wide noodles like fettuccine or linguine work best for this dish, as they can hold the sauce well. You can also use egg noodles or ramen noodles if you prefer.
- Cook the noodles al dente: This means cooking them until they are just tender, but still have a slight bite to them. This will help them hold their shape in the sauce.
- Don't crowd the pan: When cooking the ham and vegetables, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown properly. If you crowd the pan, the ingredients will steam instead of brown.
- Use a good quality ranch dressing: The ranch dressing is the star of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can either make your own or use a store-bought brand that you like.
- Add some extra flavor: If you like, you can add some extra flavor to this dish by stirring in some chopped fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or garlic powder for a little extra kick.
