Happy Friday! Today we have a new recipe that is an instant favorite in our house, Pesto Ranch Rigatoni. It is also one that didn’t sit long on my Recipes I want to Try Pinterest board!
Follow Cindy Schultz-TheMomMaven.com’s board Recipes I want to try on Pinterest.


In our house we love pasta, pesto and ranch so this seemed like a perfect fit even before I made it. Unfortunately, I did find out that the men in my house do not appreciate meatless meals. They quickly grilled up some chicken breasts when they realized that I wasn’t cooking any meat. In the future, we decided I will make crockpot shredded chicken to add in with the Pesto Ranch Rigatoni and bake it in a 13×9″ pan. If your family demands meat, I suggest you try it too.

Recipe Notes

Original recipe called for 28 oz of diced tomatoes. My husband is not a tomato fan so I cut that in half, and there were plenty of tomatoes.

    This looks delicious! Like your house, my men are meat eaters–so I think I’ll add the chicken to satisfy their hearty appetites–but for me, the pasta lover, I think I could take it either way–yummmm-thanks for sharing 🙂

    This looks really good! I know I’d be the only eating it here, but I’d love to try it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful meal.

    By the way, the AT&T Uverse ad showed up at the end of your post. Oh how we wish we could get their service! IF we could, we’d jump on it.
