Cowpoke Pasta Salad

1 lb box Barilla Piccolini Wagonwheel pasta
1 envelope Ranch dressing mix
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup milk
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup raw carrots, sliced thin
1 bunch scallions, sliced
pepper to taste

Mix mayo, milk and ranch dressing until smooth. Set aside.

Cook pasta according to package directions, adding frozen veggies for last 2 minutes of cook time. Drain, then rinse with cold water. Toss with raw veggies, then add dressing and pepper to taste.

This is best if it gets to sit in the fridge a couple hours or more so flavors can marry. For thinner dressing, add more milk until desired consistency.

Lara's Notes: AWESOME!!! Logan was pratically begging me to make this again for dinner. I just pan-fried some chickend and served it on the side!
