For her fabulous and fuss-free Ziti Supper, Elaine Spevak of Jacksonville, Florida turns to store-bought spaghetti sauce, then dresses it up with crisp veggies, olives, fresh parsley and cheese. The result? A healthy dinner entree that's "quick to prepare and sure to please," she reports. "This is my family's very favorite pasta dish." TIP: For easy variety, choose a spaghetti sauce with mini meatballs.
