Ingredients

  1. 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  2. 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapeno
  3. 1 (11 ounce) can tomato bisque
  4. 2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies
  5. 1 (16 ounce) package medium pasta shells

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
