This recipe is so versatile! Look in your fridge for anything else you want to throw in, like red pepper, mushrooms, extra zucchini—you name it. And if you're a vegetarian, go ahead and leave out the chicken. —Stephanie Loaiza, Layton, Utah

This recipe came up under your low carb options; however, the spaghetti noodles are not low carb. In order to make this low carb, you would need to either eliminate the noodles, or use zoodles or other low carb noodle option.

Okay taste but it's not Cacciatore without mushrooms and it shouldn't have olives.
