Int his video I demonstrate how to make an easy Ranch Pasta. This can be prepared days in advance if you are preparing this for a cookout or dinner party.

Some of the key elements of this recipe that gives this salad nice texture is the contracts between the slightly meaty olives, al dente noodles and fresh lettuce gives this recipe a new meaning when it comes to pasta salad.
