Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Substitute mostaccioli for the ziti pasta, and 1 sliced yellow squash for the red peppers or mushrooms.

Safe Produce Tips

When purchasing produce, the produce should feel cold to the touch and have a bright color. Refrigerate raw vegetables for best quality and to prevent spoilage prior to use.

The taste definitely depends on the the type of sauce you use. The zucchini was still slightly crunchy, which kids loved. It was delish served with Parmesan chicken

I've made this a few times and it always turns out great and makes excellent leftovers! I like to spice it up a little to give it an extra kick.

Loved it. The spec for the veggies is a little too much. Only used 1/4 lb. of mushrooms. Used 1 red pepper & 1 green pepper. Also, added in crushed red pepper. Very delicious and easy to make.

Very good recipe but next time I make it, I would add more sauce and less veggies.

Made this last week. Very good. My family really liked it. I only used one pepper and zucchini and added a small onion, also added some chicken breast into the mixture, delicious. Will most def make again.

We enjoyed all the wonderful fresh veggies with this one - I ended up throwing extra stuff that was leftover in the fridge. I think next time I'd add a can of tomatoes for more flavor and some extra juiciness it was a little dry.
