Spiral Pasta Supreme
This is a recipe I tagged to make, for one of my team mates, from a recipe swap I am involved in. It was a very easy recipe to make and tasted wonderful, I made as stated apart from adding some leftover roast chicken to the dish as well as the ham. It is a great recipe and I am sure the ingredients could be played around with to use up whatever you have in your fridge, both with regard to the veg used and also the meat.
