Introduction

This recipe I found on the back of a box of Heartland Whole Grain Rotini--I don't know if that counts as a copyrighted source or not. I have had to make a few modifications in the nutrition calculations; for instance there was no way to put in "1/2 cup pitted black olives" in the nutrition calculator, so guestimated 10 jumbo black olives would be about half a cup. The nutrition information should be relatively close, if not perfect.
