1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions using minimum cook time; drain. Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, cook the onion and green pepper in the butter until tender (about 4 minutes).

2. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients stirring to blend well. Pour into a greased 13×9-inch baking dish . Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 to 35 minutes. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
