Instructions
- Cook pasta in a large pot of well-salted boiling water according to the package directions, until al dente. Drain cooked pasta, but do not rinse. Save and set aside ½ cup pasta water to use later, if needed.
- Add the pasta back into the same pot. Add the butter and stir until melted. Then stir in the milk.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If your pasta looks a little dry, stir in a bit of reserved pasta water to loosen up the sauce.
- Serve immediately with a little extra parmesan on top!

Store: This pasta is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat: You can either microwave it in 30-second intervals or warm it on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally. When reheating, add a bit of butter or milk to keep the noodles from drying out.
