Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Dried cherries, dried blueberries or raisins can be used instead of the dried cranberries.
  • tip 2
    Crisp red eating apples, such as Gala, Cortland, Delicious and Braeburn, are the best choices for this recipe.
  • tip 3
    Consider the pasta possibilities! Instead of pasta shells, use fun holiday pasta shapes such as trees, stars, bells or ornaments.
