This is my amended version of a recipe published by Kraft.  It presents well visually, but emits a strong aroma of seafood.  It's been a hit at pot blessing suppers and cookouts, but keep it cold if you're taking it outdoors for an extended period of time.

        Seafood Pasta Salad

        ½ cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing) 
        ¼ cup ranch dressing
        2 tbls parmesan cheese
        2 cups (8 oz) corkscrew noodles (rotini)
        1½ cups (8 oz) chopped imitation crabmeat
        1 cup broccoli florets 
        ½ cup chopped tomato 
        ¼ cup green onion slices

        Combine dressings and cheese; mix well.  Cook broccoli in boiling water 3 minutes; drain and rinse in cold water to halt cooking.  Combine all ingredients and toss with dressing.

        Note:  I usually double this recipe.  If salad seems too dry (pasta will absorb dressing), add more ranch dressing.
