For this quick-mix casserole, I combine two pasta sauces and add Cajun seasoning for kick. You could even try adding mushrooms or frozen peas. —Rebecca Reece, Henderson, Nevada

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces uncooked fettuccine
  • 1 large sweet onion, halved and sliced
  • 1 medium green pepper, cut into 1/4-inch strips
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into 1/4-inch strips

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
