2 cups uncooked radiatore pasta
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 (10-3/4 oz) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
2 (4.5 oz) cans chopped green chilies, undrained
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups chopped cooked chicken

3. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
