EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The green chiles in the canned tomatoes add a nice heat level to this sauce.

Penne pasta would be a nice substitute for the rotini.

This recipe makes a lot of food! It was very tasty. I usually do not eat zucchini or mushrooms but I did in this recipe. It may be too spicy for younger kids but my teenage boy had seconds. I am looking forward to eating some for lunch tomorrow because one bowl was filling enough!
