Chicken Ranch Pasta

8 ounces penne pasta
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp dry ranch dressing seasoning mix
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup cooked, chopped bacon
2 cups cooked, chopped chicken

In a large pot, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.  Meanwhile, boil chicken in water (can use broth for more flavor) until completely cooked through.  Fry bacon.  Shred both, set aside.

In same pot (while pasta is draining) melt butter. Add flour and stir. Cook flour for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk. Continue cooking until sauce thickens. Stir in ranch dressing mix and cheese. Stir until cheese melts. Add chicken, bacon and pasta. Stir to coat.
