Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Finish off this meal with coleslaw, crusty rolls and slices of cool, refreshing watermelon.
  • tip 2
    It's easy to add some ham to part of this skillet dish for the meat lovers in your family. Remove half of the pasta and cheese from the skillet; keep warm. Stir 1 cup of cubed fully cooked ham into the remaining pasta in skillet; heat through.
