Pasta Chop Suey was inspired by a recipe called American Chop Suey in an issue of Cook’s Country magazine.  The concept intrigued us but the ingredients didn’t fit the Garden Dish rules for healthy eating.  So we started from scratch, and the results were very tasty. We had three types of pasta in the pantry (orzo, lasagna, and fettuccine) so we used some of each and our tasters really enjoyed the surprise of the mixed pasta.  Now, every time we make this we use a mixture of pasta shapes.  And you can always add uncooked pasta to soups another day, so don’t worry about using only a portion of a package.
