Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water until cool.

2. Place the thawed peas in a large bowl along with the cooled pasta so they cool and soften slightly.

3. Add the chopped water chestnuts and coarsely chopped imitation crabmeat to the bowl.

4. In a small bowl, stir together the reduced-fat mayonnaise, chopped chives, and chopped dill until evenly combined.

5. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently until everything is coated.

6. Taste and add more imitation crabmeat if you like, then stir to distribute it evenly.

7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors blend, then serve chilled.
