3. Add fresh dill, dill pickles, imitation crab meat (flaked or chopped), celery, red onion, green onions, and frozen peas to the bowl. Mix until evenly combined.

4. Gently fold in the cooled pasta, making sure all ingredients are well coated with the creamy dressing.

5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.

6. Serve chilled and garnish with extra fresh dill if desired.
