EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Don't care for olives? Substitute 1 small green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, or a 6-ounce jar of Green Giant® sliced mushrooms, drained, instead.

Rotini pasta can be used instead of the macaroni.

Great quick recipe! As I am eating the leftovers for lunch, about one hundred ideas came into my head to change this up. Use ground beef, different noodles, frozen veggies, part alfredo sauce, etc.
