You can play quite a bit with this recipe. I didn't have rotini noodles, I usually like to use bowtie pasta, but didn't have those either, so I used shells. It still turned out great!!

You can make a double batch of this and put one batch in a big ziplock and put it into the freezer for a quick meal in a pinch. Don't cook the noodles all the way when doing this.
I am really into freezer meals lately. It's just as easy to double something and freeze it. Then it really comes in handy some days.
