Cavatini

I found this recipe several years ago in southern living magazine and it is wonderful! My mom really loves this so i always have to make it for her on special occasions. This really makes a huge amount...but the ingredients could easily be cut in half. Better yet, one dish could be frozen for later use. Enjoy!!
