Preparation

Step 1

1 In 10-inch skillet, heat water and pasta sauce to boiling. Stir in macaroni, meatballs and olives. Return to boiling.

2 Reduce heat to medium. Cover; cook 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until macaroni is tender. Sprinkle with cheese.

Serves 4

Don't care for olives? Substitute 1 small green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, or a 6-ounce jar of sliced mushrooms, drained, instead. Rotini pasta can be used instead of the macaroni.
