I love the fresh veggies and the cottage cheese gives it a twist! I added extra veggies and next time I will try it with whole wheat rotini and maybe some lemon juice. Perfect for a potluck!

I've make this receipe twice so far....used regular cottage cheese and regular ranch dressing the first time. Very good... 2nd time I made it, I used bacon ranch dressing and bacon bits for added flavor! Awesome!! And different!!! And of course I double the recipe each time...even better the next day!!

Excellent recipe. I added the broccoli, carrot and onion to the pasta in it's last 3 minutes of cooking, which really made it good. Also, as always, we replaced the pasta with whole wheat and used fat-free Ranch and cottage cheese, lowering the fat and raising the fiber.

This is a good recipe- I accidentally cooked the broccoli and carrot- it was fine. I also added some shredded cheese and salt and pepper for a bit more flavor. It's really good with chicken added to it as well.

I made this for my son's birthday party. Several people liked it but I was expecting more. It tasted better when I added garlic salt. I've had better.
