"My mom was cleaning out one of her closets and came across several folders full of recipes that she had clipped from magazines and newpapers over the years. I'm not sure what publication this one came from. The title says "casserole" but it's really more of a hot pasta salad. Microwave cooking makes this a quick and easy meal!"

This was very tasty. It seemed an odd combination and the kidney beans seemed out of place, but together, it was all very good. I think it will be even better cold for lunch tomorrow. Next time, I'll use less dressing. Made for ZWT - 9.

This was really good! There's no need to season here, as I found the feta cheese to be salty, and the olives were in brine before being used. A really great combination, which included macaroni pasta.
