Spicy Chicken Rigatoni



Since pasta is my husband’s favorite dish I decided to combine all of his favorite spices, noodles, and chicken into one dish. I think if my husband could eat at one restaurant for the rest of his life it would be Buca di Beppo. Pasta pasta pasta!!! So since him and I were going out of town I thought we would splurge and have an all out carb-filled, spicy pasta dinner.

So here are the ingredients:
   1/4 cup oil
   1/2 tbsp crushed red pepper
   1/2 tsp salt
   1/2 tsp ground black pepper
   4 cloves of chopped garlic
    1/2 tsp organo
    2 medium size chicken breast, sliced
    3/4 cup. Basil garlic Marinara sauce
    3/4 cup garlic Alfredo sauce
    2 tsp butter
    1/4 cup peas
    1 lb Rigatoni pasta, cooked according to package directions
    Red pepper can be added for garnish….(our eyes were watering at the end of the meal,     but every bite was worth it!)

And here how the recipe goes:










In a med-large frying pan heat oil and garlic over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper, salt, black pepper and sauté. Once the garlic starts to turn a light brown and the crushed red pepper is mixed thoroughly into the oil add the sliced chicken, toss in the oil mixture, and cook for about 5 minutes.

Next, add the marinara and alfredo sauce and mix together. Stir frequently, allowing the sauce to thicken and chicken to cook thoroughly.

Turn off stove, add butter and peas and continue to stir.

Once sauce is mixed all together pour it over a large pot of pasta and stir, stir, stir!

Get a large glass of ice water and have it ready while you eat this spicy, yet delicious meal!
