    Recipe



    1. Prepare pasta according to package directions.

    2. While pasta is cooking, saute beef in a large skillet until browned; drain well. Add taco seasoning mix and water; simmer 5 minutes or until thickened. Stir in beans and cheese. Cook until smooth and well mixed.

    3. When pasta is done, drain well. Fill shells with beef mixture (1-2 tbsp. per shell).

    4. Combine picante sauce and tomato sauce in a saucepan. Cook until heated, stirring occasionally.

    5. Preheat oven to 350° F. Spread 1/2 cup sauce over the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Place filled shells side by side on top of sauce; pour remaining sauce evenly over shells. Sprinkle with olives. Cover with aluminum foil; bake 35 to 40 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

    6. Sprinkle with green onions. Cover and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve immediately.

    7. Garnish as desired.
