Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Serve this main dish with a mixed green salad for a quick and tasty weekday meal.

Substitute

Substitute 1 cup frozen sliced zucchini for the sliced fresh zucchini.

How to Store Dried Pasta

Dried pasta will last almost indefinitely if stored in an airtight glass or plastic container in a cool dark place. Dried whole wheat pasta can turn rancid, however, so should be used within the recommended time listed on the package.

Yummy!!! I used one pound of ground beef and about 3/4 of the other listed ingredients. Made enough for 4 large portions. I also used Italian style diced tomatoes after reading other reviews. I used rotini because I had it at home. Can't wait to serve it again! Everyone in our family enjoyed it!

Successful dinner accomplished! The only issue I had was not adding the whole huge huge zucchini I had. Who knew that my boys would clear the whole batch in one sitting and ask for more zucchini?! Made exactly as directed but seasoned to taste, came out as perfection! Thank you recipe maker!

When making this recipe, cook the pasta in a pot by itself while you are cooking the beef, etc. I had to cook and cook to get the pasta done once it was in with the meat. I also had to add more Italian seasoning and cheese. But, after I did all that, it was quite good.

easy to make when you need a meal in a flash. instead of ground beef, i used boca crumbles and chicken broth. turned out really tasty.

I used 1 tsp of minced garlic and 1/2 tsp of Italian seasoning. My husband said it was OK but bland, so he added a ton of black pepper to his serving. My daughter said it was OK, but only to make it once in a while.

I made this dish for dinner and my family loved it! I read some comments that some thought it was a little bland so I doubled up on the italian seasoning as well as adding fresh ground pepper. I substituted a can of tomato sauce for the paste and also added about a 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese. My kids actually asked for a second helping. I'll definitely make this dish again!

It was good, but blah. It needed more flavor, but was so easy. I will make it again and try adding more spices.

Added both yellow and green zucchini. Also added basil and garlic salt. Used ground turkey instead of ground beef. More flavorful with the turkey. Very, very tasty!
