Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add small pasta and cook until al dente, about 7-10 minutes.

Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process.

While warm, return pasta to the pot and sprinkle with the Italian dressing mix, tossing gently.

In a mixing bowl, combine ranch dressing mix with softened cream cheese and stir in a splash of milk until smooth.

Chop the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces for even distribution.

In a large bowl, combine seasoned pasta, chopped vegetables, and creamy dressing, folding gently to mix.

Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
