Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the Barilla Rotini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it under cold water to halt the cooking process. Allow the pasta to cool completely.
- While the pasta cools, finely chop the celery, green pepper, and onion. Lastly, chop the fresh parsley. Set the chopped veggies aside in a large mixing bowl.
- In the mixing bowl containing your chopped vegetables, add the cooled pasta and imitation crab. Dollop in the mayonnaise, ranch dressing, and crushed dried dill.
- Using a large spoon or spatula, gently fold the ingredients together in the bowl until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- When ready to serve, rinse your serving dish with cold water. Spoon the chilled pasta salad into the dish and garnish with fresh parsley or dill for presentation.
