Directions:
1. Use a canning funnel or any funnel that has about a 2″ neck. Be sure to use a wide-mouth, 1-quart canning jar. Wash it in hot soapy water, rinse, and air dry.
2. Layer ingredients in the order given above and add enough tricolor spiral pasta to fill the jar.
3. Attach a tag with cooking instructions:
In large kettle, brown 1 pound ground beef, (stew beef or chicken) which has been cut into bite-size pieces, in a little olive or vegetable oil. Remove the tricolor pasta from the jar and put aside.
