Notes
Serve Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta hot, straight from the skillet. It goes well with a fresh garden salad or garlic bread on the side. You can sprinkle extra cheese or bacon on top for an added touch. To store, let it cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
