Let's Cook!
Boil 1/2 to 3/4 of the box of pasta (more will have thinner sauce is all). Drain while still al dente. Rinse thoroughly in cool water to prevent pasta from sticking together. Set aside.
Beat together 1 cup ranch dressing, 1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk, and 2 eggs in a large bowl. Break into pieces the full package (about 8 ounces) of Asiago cheese slices, and 1/2 of the package (about 4 ounces) of other white cheese of choice. Mix pasta and cheese into ranch mix. Melt 3 tablespoons butter. Use about 1 tablespoon to grease a casserole dish, then mix 1/2 cup bread crumbs or crushed crackers of choice into remaining butter. Place pasta in casserole dish, and sprinkle crumb and butter mixture on top. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 25 minutes, or until heated through and top is lightly brown.
Serve hot with veggie of choice, warm crescents and a cool glass of Crystal Light or lemonade.
