Preparation

Step 1

Follow the cooking directions on box of elbow macaroni.

Step 2

While the pasta is boiling, start cutting the whole brick of cheese into cubes. The cubes can be cut to the size you desire. When pasta is finished, drain into a strainer and run under cold water until pasta is cold. Empty cold pasta into a large bowl. Finish cutting the cheese into cubes (if needed) and then cut the ham into the same size cubes.

Step 3

Dump the cubed ham and cheese into the bowl of cold pasta and mix together.

Step 4

Stir in Parsley Flakes and Ranch Dressing. Mix well and Enjoy.

​

To save on prep time, cube the ham and cheese before hand. Don't really have the time, buy the ham and cheese already cubed.
