I just boil sprial noodles and cut up broccli, cauliflower, tomatoes, black olives, and whatever other veggies you prefer. (You can also add salami or pepperoni)


Add shredded mozzerella cheese to the cooked pasta and add parmesean cheese. I like many different italian dressings, use the one you like the best. Add some salt and pepper and there you go, its delicious!
Take the curly cue noodles boil them then drain under cold water then add chopped tomatoes,onion,black olives,celery,and crab meat. Then in another bowl blend together mayo and ranch dressing packet. Blend together and chill for about 30min. You can sub. any of ing. with whatever you want. Like ham instead of crab. Happy eating!!!!!
