Chicken Ranch Pasta

Even though I have my 4 Week Dinner Menu that I made and love, every now and then I like to try a new recipe.  I came across this Chicken Ranch Pasta recipe on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a try.  My kids love pasta and my husband loves bacon.  And who doesn't like cheese?

It was super tasty.

Even my picky 2 year old ate it.

Try it out and see what you think.  We will definitely be making this recipe again.

Chicken Ranch Pasta

In the same pot, melt butter.  Add flour and stir.  Cook flour for 1 minute.  Slowly whisk in milk.  Continue cooking until sauce thickens.  Stir in ranch dressing mix and cheese.  Stir until cheese melts.  Add chicken, bacon, and pasta.  Stir to coat.
