Ham and Pea Pasta Salad

1 lb. cooked rotini pasta

3/4 c. light ranch dressing

3/4 c. light mayonnaise

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. black pepper

8 oz. diced ham (I used Petite Jean ham slices that I browned in the skillet before dicing)

1 c. frozen peas

1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese (optional--I add it because I like it)

  
Cook pasta and peas according to package directions. Whisk together Ranch, mayonnaise, and seasonings. Pour over pasta. Fold in ham, peas, and cheese. Chill several hours and serve.

This is a combination of several recipes that were trying to duplicate Ruby Tuesday's Ham and Pea Pasta Salad. It turned out good--similar to, but not an exact copy of the restaurant version.
