   Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, and chicken broth. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring the cream cheese is fully melted into the sauce.

   Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the pasta in the skillet. Cover the skillet and allow the cheese to melt, about 3-5 minutes, creating a gooey cheesy topping.

   Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped green onions for a burst of color and mild onion flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
