Arrange in a baking dish.
Combine water and picante sauce and pour over shells.
Cover your dish and bake at 350\u00b0 for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes until noodles are tender.
About midpoint of your baking time, very carefully turn the noodles over.
Combine sour cream, green onions and olives.
Spread over noodles.
Take note which direction you placed your noodles before adding sour cream mixture so you will know how to take them out.
Finally, add cheese for the final layer.
Place back in oven long enough to melt cheese.
