    I really like the sound of this dish and will definitely give it a try, perhaps adding some sliced french beans or diced carrots along with the olives and macaroni. I will let you know how it goes.

    This was super-easy to prepare and tasted great too. A perfect lazy Sunday afternoon recipe. My stew was quite acidic so I might increase the chicken stock and decrease the wine next time. It's also easy to vary the amount of macaroni to suit.
