You could substitute Pepper Jack cheese for the jalapenos and Monterey Jack cheese to save time.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 cups rotelle or rotini pasta
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 2 Tbsp. canned diced jalapeno peppers, drained
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

PREPARATION:

Combine pasta and water in large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until pasta is tender and water is almost gone. Add evaporated milk, red bell pepper, green onions, olives and jalapeños; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium. Cook mixture, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Add cheese and stir until cheese is melted and sauce is thickened. Serves 4
