  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

Instructions

  1. Boil the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and slightly browned.
