Expert Tips

We recommend reduced-fat Italian dressing because it clings very well to the pasta, vegetables and ham. In regular Italian dressing, the herbs and spices often separate and sink to the bottom of the bottle.

Select small zucchini, which are younger, more tender and have thinner skins. Look for skins that are blemish free with a vibrant color.

I have to say this was a great meal. My family was sick of the same old thing, so I went on Betty Crocker website on 8-25 and found this 30 min. recipe. I printed it out and we cooked it that same night. It was great I did change a few things. I used turkey not ham and spinach not basil and I used wheat not regular penne. This is a great recipe and we are looking forward to trying some of the other ones.
